Subject: problems in kdump kernel if 'maxcpus=1' not specified?
Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 18:07:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <487D49DC.8040209@sgi.com> (raw)
Are there known problems if you boot up kdump kernel with
multipl cpus?
It takes unacceptably long time to run makedumpfile in
saving dump at a huge memory system. In my testing it
took 16hr25min to run create_dump_bitmap() on a 1TB system.
Pfn's are processed sequentially with single cpu. We
certainly can use multipl cpus here ;)
Regards,
- jay
