With regards to s-c-kdump, would it be sufficient to enable setting the "Path" textbox even when no partition is chosen in the "Partition" drop down menu?
I think so. After this change, one should be able to change path even if target is not specified. Some kind of error checking would be good though to make sure path specified by user does exist.
Nice, thanks for the explanation. I'm wondering whether s-c-kdump needs to know if the current kexec-tools support this feature. If we simply allow the path to be supplied regardless of kexec-tools version, the worst that can happen is that kdump.conf is generated which causes (an old version of) kdump to save the dump on root fs in the specified directory. Is that acceptable?
This sounds reasonable.
Thanks Vivek
