I need to make a decision on the configuration of the kdump location for a bunch of new machines. It seems like using a raw partition directly is the safest choice, right? If I configure it to dump vmcore on a filesystem, and the filesystem gets corrupted somehow, then the dump will fail. Same for network-based dumps (the remote end may be unavailable due to a number of reasons). The local storage is a couple SATA drives with hardware-based mirror RAID. The chassis is a Dell PowerEdge. Also, what it the recommended size for a dedicated raw partition for kdump? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org
