NAME
mkdumprd - (Re)build the initramfs for kdump
SYNOPSIS
mkdumprd [-h] [-q] [-f] [-k kernelver]
DESCRIPTION
mkdumprd (re-)builds the kdump initrd. For kdump, a special initrd is
used because
o the kdump initrd should include network modules and network
configuration (and therefore is larger as the normal initrd used
for booting),
o the kdump initrd should use no splash screen,
o the kdump initrd includes kdumptool(8) and all required libraries.
This script calls mkinitrd(8) with all required parameters. If the
initrd already exists, it checks first if the configuration file or the
kernel are newer, and only rebuilds the initrd if necessary.
OPTIONS
All option parsing is done via the getopt(3) function, and therefore
follows all standard command line parsing rules.
-h | --help
Shows help output and exits.
-k kernelversion
Specifies the kernel version. If no version is specified and also
no kernel or initrd are specified, then mkdumprd uses kdumptool(8)
to find out the correct kernel and initrd.
-K kernel
Specifies the kernel binary. If you specify that option, also
specify -I.
-I initrd
Specifies the resulting initrd. If you specify that option, also
specify -K.
-q
Be quiet. Don't output status messages. Used to call mkdumprd(8)
from /etc/init.d/kdump init script.
-d
Output debug information of the initrd build process.
FILES
/etc/sysconfig/kdump
Kdump configuration. See kdump(5).
