Re: [Crash-utility] Remote processing of core dump
----- Original Message -----
Hi Dave,
could you please advise is it possible to process core dump remotely?
No, not any more.
Actually I did implement that capability several years ago, where you
could build a remote "crashd" daemon that you could connect to in order
to access dumpfiles or /dev/mem on a remote system. But it languished due
to lack of interest and the preference/speed-superiority of using NFS,
and so it has long since been deprecated. The code still sits there in
the sources, in remote.c.

Currently for investigation of kernel crashes on customer nodes I
need either download coredump to local node or upload debug symbols
to remote node. This may not be quite convenient for various
reasons.
Is it possible to use gdbserver-like functionality with crash?
IMHO it would be great to start crash utility locally, with debug
symbols but without core dump file, and then connect to gdbserver on
remote node attached to core dump file.
Thank you,
