Description
While testing savecore, I noticed that my dump went to /var/crash/unknown, despite my system having a nodename.
I think this is because the dumpadm service ran savecore prior to the identity:node service setting the node name. The SMF dependency chain as best as I can determine it appears to bear out this as a possibility.
I think dumpadm should depend on identity:node
Updated by Rich Lowe 21 days ago
actually, dumpadm definitely shouldn't depend on identity:node, because we want to savecore as soon as possible as quickly as possible.
It is also hard to tell using the tools available whether I got the bad crash directory because we lost the hypothesized race, or because dumpadm configured itself before the system had been given a nodename.
