Re: [Mkdump-devel] a question about the device

[panxj <xue...@io...>]

Thank you！
I did everything as you say， and when I typed
# echo 2 > /proc/mkexec/stats
the mini kernel seemed starting ,and the system rebooted after a while
But I could see nothing in the partition
Is there anything else I should do before testing the dump?
