6:51 a.m.
Hello,
I have a dump file produced by makedumpfile with following command:
/sbin/makedumpfile -d 0 -c --message-level 7 /proc/vmcore /tmpd/crashdump-`date
+"%Y%m%d-%H%M"`
When I edit the raw binary, it seems that the first bytes could be mapped to a
disk_dump_header structure.
Is that correct ?
When doing this, all seems to match: signature (KDUMP), header version (6), utsname
content, timestamp.
But not the status: I get 1 (INCOMPLETED), tough I'm able to analyze it with
'crash'.
I was expecting 0 or at least 8, because it should be zlib-compressed.
What am I missing ?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Patrick Agrain

The INCOMPLETED status value you're saying is a diskdump one,
makedumpfile doesn't use those values. Please see "help -D"
crash> help -D
...
status: 1 (DUMP_DH_COMPRESSED_ZLIB)
and crash's __diskdump_memory_dump():
fprintf(fp, " status: %x (", dh->status);
switch (dd->flags & (DISKDUMP_LOCAL|KDUMP_CMPRS_LOCAL))
{
case DISKDUMP_LOCAL:
if (dh->status == DUMP_HEADER_COMPLETED)
fprintf(fp, "DUMP_HEADER_COMPLETED");
else if (dh->status == DUMP_HEADER_INCOMPLETED)

New subject: EXT: RE: disk_dump_header status value
Hello Kazu,
Thanks for the explanation. It's now clear.
I was mixing DISKDUMP_LOCAL and KDUMP_COMPRESSED_LOCAL dumpfiles.
Best regards,
Patrick Agrain
