MKDUMRD(8)                           System Manager's Manual                           MKDUMRD(8)



NAME
       mkdumprd - creates initial ramdisk images for kdump crash recovery

SYNOPSIS
       mkdumprd [OPTION]


DESCRIPTION
       mkdumprd  creates  an initial ram file system for use in conjunction with the booting of a
       kernel within the kdump framework for crash recovery.  mkdumprds purpose is to  create  an
       initial  ram  filesystem capable of copying the crashed systems vmcore image to a location
       specified in /etc/kdump.conf

       mkdumprd interrogates the running system to understand what modules need to be  loaded  in
       the initramfs (based on configuration retrieved from /etc/kdump.conf)

       mkdumprd  add  a  new  dracut  module  99kdumpbase  and use dracut utility to generate the
       initramfs.

       mkdumprd was not intended for casual use outside of the service initialization script  for
       the  kdump  utility,  and  should  not  be  run  manually.   If you require a custom kdump
       initramfs image, it is suggested that you use the kdump service infrastructure  to  create
       one, and then manually unpack, modify and repack the image.



OPTIONS
       All options here are passed to dracut directly, please refer dracut docs
              for the info.
