From: Jaroslav Suchanek <jsuchane(a)redhat.com&gt; Crash dump in a old kvmdump format is being obsolete and cannot be loaded and processed by crash utility since its version 6.1.0. A --memory-only option is required in order to produce valid ELF file which can be later processed by the crash utility. A new note is added to the dump command description. --- tools/virsh.pod | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/virsh.pod b/tools/virsh.pod index 98fed76..8e3ba69 100644 --- a/tools/virsh.pod +++ b/tools/virsh.pod @@ -1355,6 +1355,11 @@ B<dump> command.
