Hello Maneesh
see my comments below please.
Hi Jozef
There are few more changes which I think would be good to have. Please let me know if these are possible to make or not.
1. Start-up ----------- Please move the "kdump memory" settings from "Dumping" screen to "Start up". As, IMHO, the start-up setting should have the minimum things which are absolutely necessary for enabling kdump service. Without reserving memory one cannot enable kdump.
Yes, I will do it.
Great.. thanks.
2. Save Dump Image ----------------- IMHO, we can rename the tittle to something like "Dump Target Settings". The other options looks great. Only a couple of issues, firstly, in case of "Raw Disk", I think the "Directory for saving Dumps" is not needed. Secondly, for NFS, I think "Share" is not needed.
Yes of course. I did some changes but I forgot update screen shots. :(
"Raw Disk" is in "Expert Settings" and doesn't include "Directory for saving Dumps" now.
Bernahrd has clarified the Raw Disk option to me. I think lets leave it in "Dump Target Settings" and as Bernhard says, we do need the option to specify the ultimate directory where the dump will be saved eventually.
3. Expert Settings ------------------ IMHO, this tab should contain all the settings which normally user will not change. Apart from kdump kernel command like options, we can move the setting wrt "No. of Old Dumps" from "Dumping" screen to expert settings. Also can we put one more option to use a custom kdump kernel initrd which can be used save/process the dump.
I try to replace "No. of Old Dumps" but it depend on space.
hmm.. actually I think this is one of the options which may not be used too often.
Custom kdump kernel initrd is for discussion with Mr. Walle.
4. Dump-filtering ----------------- I think we should either merge this with "Dump Target Settings" or if there is not much space left there, then a separate screen.
Please let me know if these make sense or not.
"Dump filtering" has different UI and name ("Dump Level) now. My opinion is that it is not good idea merge it with "Dump Target Settings". There is problem with space. I prefer separate screen for this option.
ok..
I will update screen shots today or tomorrow. I will inform you about it. I hope that it will be better. :)
Thanks again.. I appreciate it. Maneesh -- Maneesh Soni Linux Technology Center, IBM India Systems and Technology Lab, Bangalore, India -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
