Title:
No kdump is created
Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After creating a test crash (echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger), the Ubuntu splash
screen is shown for around 20 seconds, with the dots being filled and cleared,
then the system restarts into, what I assume is, the configured
kdump-initrd-image and gives me a busybox shell.
The system's root is not mounted, its block-device is not available under
/dev.
Rebooting from there back to the normal system shows no dumped kernel
under the configured /var/crash directory. /var/crash is part of the
root fs, an ext4 mounted from /dev/nvme0n1p3
Expected behaviour:
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
should give a kdump file in /var/crash
Actual behavior:
no file i /var/crash, a busybox shell in the kexec:ed kernel.
