Description Martin Liška 2023-03-01 13:54:54 UTC

Right now, Kdump uses the zlib compression but would be nice to have a more modern compression algorithm, zstd.

yast2 provides the following options:

No Dump
ELF Format
Compressed Format
LZO Compressed Format

where the 3rd one is likely zlib I guess.

Comment 1 Jiri Bohac 2023-06-23 11:26:20 UTC

kdump has supported zstd for ages. But it's missing from yast2-kdump.
Implemented in https://github.com/yast/yast-kdump/pull/134/commits/b6c7d5b23e32f236d2ce0680c200083728d67606
and waiting to be submitted by the YaST team in bsc#1212646
