Baoquan Thanks
Question: Does anaconda create /var/crash during install?
if yes, good.
On my default system I see /var/crash is present. That means anaconda created it during installation.
Arthur tested this, on fedora minimal, /var/crash is not created.
So who created /var/crash on my F20 install. I am sure I did not.
$ rpm -qf /var/crash kexec-tools-2.0.4-18.fc20.x86_64
I assume that it gets created by installing kexec-tools.
Ok, so if kexec-tools generates it during installation time, then /var/crash should be present after kexec-tools installation.
Only problem can happen if user installed kexec-tools first and later mounted something on /var. I think we can just error out in that case.
Thanks Vivek
