Hi, Please see attachment for the tarball of new tree. The updated version has the following improvments,
- simplify maintenance - fix several bugs - better automation - extend support on Debian and Fedora - merge Poornima Nayak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 's latest patch - other changes The new version simplifies code layout, and all tools under lib/ directory are standalone and reusable, all configurable variables are under the file runkdump.conf. There are also included sample configuration files for different distros and test components. In addition, it avoided code duplication by merging RHEL and SLES specified code in lkdtm module together, and add a checking before hand. The working flow in main script has also been tidied up. verify and verify_dump have been unified. unused file "summary" has been deleted. In previous version, * The part of comparing kernel version in setup will not work proper if the kernel grows to something like 2.7.1 or 2.8.1. * verify_dump will not able to find previous vmcore if vmcore creation and vmcore verfication happen at different hours. * Other random bugs because of code complexity. In the new version, once you define everything in a config file, it will run in an automatically fashion on some of systems, if there is proper tools installed. The code has been rewritten in POSIX shell syntax, and made more portable, and attempted to remove hard-coded stuff as much as possible. It has been tested fairly on RHEL5.1, SLES10sp1, Debian unstable, and Fedora 8. If needed I can send you result logs. Sachin has done a quick test on PPC64 machine running RHEL5.1 and the script run fine. Poornima has done some code review. Poornima's patch has been merged, 1. Crashkerenl reservation check is modified to support any craskernel value. 2. A message before system reboots 3. Added one more line to 'status' if dump verification passed. 4. Modified 'README' file 5. If kdump start fails for invalid arguments in kdump.conf is fixed 6. Replaced MAKE_OPTS with MAKE_OPTIONS. 7. Removed some unwanted statements. Other changes included that all tests descriptions have been documented in doc/ALL_TEST.txt. KNLD (dump over scp with link delay) test case has been merged into KNSCP (dump over scp). Once LINK_DELAY has been defined somewhere in configuration file, all test cases (KNSCP and KNNFS) dumping to a network destination will take advantage of it. If LINK_DELAY is not defined or equals to 0, KNSCP and KNNFS will just the same as in previous version. Cai Qian
