I am running RHEL U2 and have run into some issues when configuring diskdump
to use a LVM swap partition. Does anyone know whether this is supported?
I've reviewed the RHEL kbase and they provide an example configuration like
what I'm trying to do, but I have been unsuccessful getting it to work. I
have configured standard partition successfully, but I really need to make
it work under LVM.
I am hoping to get some insight into whether anyone has experience in
getting this to work.
These are the commands that I've executed:
# modprobe diskdump
# cat /proc/diskdump
Output =>
# sample_rate: 8
# block_order: 2
# fallback_on_err: 1
# allow_risky_dumps: 1
# dump_level: 0
# compress: 0
# total_blocks: 1572763
#
# cat /proc/swaps
Output =>
