I have a rather weird issue at hand. I am trying to setup kdump/kexec with linux 2.6.35-14.
Everything works fine and I am effecting the crash via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger".
However, I see that the size of the core file generated DOUBLES for every invocation of crash! :s :s
- First crash: 347Mb
- Second crash: 622Mb
- Third crash: 1.2Gb
- Fourth crash: 2.2Gb
Would folks have any insight into why this could be? And hence what the solution could be?
Thanks much.
