Public bug reported: Commit 38fe0c8f41fd (Support compressing the dumpfile) [1] changes the call to makedumpfile : - makedumpfile $MAKEDUMP_ARGS $vmcore_file "$KDUMP_CORETEMP" + makedumpfile $MAKEDUMP_ARGS $vmcore_file | compress > "$KDUMP_CORETEMP"
This introduces a regression because makedumpfile is called with the wrong arguments and as a result instead of creating a real dumpfile it creates a file which contains an error message : # cat /var/crash/202103181853/dump.202103181853 makedumpfile: version 1.6.8++ (released on 16 Nov 2020) command line: makedumpfile -c -d 31 -D /proc/vmcore Commandline parameter is invalid. Try `makedumpfile --help' for more information. makedumpfile Failed.
