http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019590 Bug ID: 1019590 Summary: kdump crash simulation cause root FS corruption Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: anton.smorodskyi@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- 1. Install and setup kdump 2. Press Alt + SysRQ + C to simulate a crash ==> kdump will start collecting dump but instead of write it into defined place it will start fsck to check root fs . RESULT : - dump not written into /var/crash - root fs contain serious errors which not allowed me to boot system until I fix them with manual fsck execution on detached root fs Was able to reproduce this two times in a row IMO this allow to exclude possibility that I had corrupted fs before simulation of crash. # zypper info kdump Information for package kdump: ------------------------------ Repository : Main Repository (OSS) Name : kdump Version : 0.8.15-29.1 Arch : x86_64 Vendor : openSUSE Installed Size : 644.2 KiB Installed : Yes Status : up-to-date # cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.4.41-1.g3bf02b3-default root=UUID=ba62de1c-0dc0-4c0b-b018-7fac7a19d548 resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/7f1942a6-291b-4f72-883b-e1295bf1f53d showopts crashkernel=256M # cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/kdump.service [Unit] Description=Load kdump kernel on startup After=local-fs.target Wants=kdump-rebuild-initrd.service [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=/lib/kdump/load.sh ExecStop=/lib/kdump/unload.sh RemainAfterExit=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
