The created dumpfile may be incomplete. While I understand the requirement for this message, it almost systematically is understood by users as "makedumpfile is broken". I would like to discuss the opportunity of changing the wording of this message so it appears less confusing. Maybe something like : Warning: makedumpfile has not been tested on this version of the kernel. If the created dumpfile is incomplete, you may need to upgrade to a newer version of makedumpfile. I would be happy to propose a pull request for such a change if accepted. Kind regards, ...Louis -- Louis Bouchard Software engineer, Cloud & Sustaining eng.
