(FFDC seems like a bit of an IBM specific term, First Failure Data Capture - i.e. gather all the things when something goes wrong and attach it to a bug report) I'm wondering where I missed any announce/info on its availability and use? Perhaps an idea would be to put it in the motd and/or /etc/issue(.net) so that it's prominently documented (we do this for petitboot for OpenPOWER host firmware, and I think that helps)? -- Stewart Smith OPAL Architect, IBM.
