In Memory Core Dump
Core dump systems allow for the state of a machine to be saved at crash time
for later analysis. Often,
a core dump system will write relevant data to a swap
partition at crash time. Mission Critical Linux's
system ("mcore") however does not rely on the disk
subsystem being intact and instead uses system
memory to save the crash information. On a subsequent
reboot of the system, the crash information
can be recovered.
Using crash dumps as a debugging
facility greatly reduces the time for developers and users to
determine the cause of a kernel fault.
The resulting crash dump file can be
analyzed with Mission Critical Linux's stand-alone crash analysis
utility.
If you're currently using Mission
Critical Linux's In-memory core dump system, make sure you read the
INSTALL file before upgrading, as it contains important
information regarding backwards compatibility
issues.
For more information please take a
look at the README.
