[Mkdump-devel] dump to a regular filesystem

[Tony C. <tc...@ap...>]

Hi,

Is it possible to have the mini kernel to dump the memory to a regular
filesystem instead of raw partition.

This is assume that some memory pages are all zero's and so when write
to a file on the filesystem does not actually occupy any physical block.

My goal is to dump the vmcore as fast as possible while using less disk
space.

However about compress?

And or partial dump since free lists are probably meaningless?

Any comments?

Thanks.
