Subject:   compact kernel dumps
Message-ID:  <35B61AB6.4B818B9B@best.com>

I am running a 2.2.5 base on a PII system with 512MB of memory.  With
the
large memory configuration, the dump takes a while (a few minutes) and I

need to reserve a significant amount of disk space in /var/crash (the
compression helps, but is not predictable).

Has anyone worked on making the kernel dump more compact by limiting it
to
pages used by the kernel and interesting in analyzing kernel problems?

Any suggestions on to how to efficiently determine these set of pages
with the
VM implementation in 2.2.5?

 thanks,
