[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: virsh: Added note for the dump command
From: Jaroslav Suchanek <jsuchane@redhat.com> 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.

Feel free to fix your git send-email settings if you used that to send the patch, or otherwise fix your MUA or whatever you used.

Same here. Since that is trivial, I'll fix that and push the patch. Congratulations on your first libvirt patch!
