https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=300714 Summary: yast2-kdump: Wrong default memory Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: juhliarik@novell.com ReportedBy: bwalle@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Development On my machine, yast2-kdump suggests to use 128 MiB memory for the crashkernel. That's too much. According to FATE 301682, the algorithm should be: if (number_of_cpus > 16 || memory_size > 16GB) size = 256MB; else if (number_of_cpus > 4 || memory_size > 4GB) size = 128MB; else size = 64MB; That x86_64 machine has exactly 4 GiB of memory and 4 cores, so it should have 64 MiB. I'd even suggest to use 512 MiB of memory always on IA64 since my experience shows that 256 MiB is too less (and IA64 machines tend to be big). So use: if ia64 size = 512MB; else if (number_of_cpus > 16 || memory_size > 16GB) size = 256MB; else if (number_of_cpus > 4 || memory_size > 4GB) size = 128MB; else size = 64MB; That should work. Reading the source code of yast2-kdump, it looks like the module always takes 128 MiB (however, I'm no YaST expert, so maybe I just read the code wrong), so it's no rounding issue but a lack of that "feature". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
