I am CCing Michael Holzheu, who did the s390 kdump > work. He can tell it better. Correct. The other s390 dump mechanisms (stand-alone and hypervisor dump) are not able to do filtering and therefore the handling of large dumps has been a problem for us. This was one of the main reasons to implement kdump on s390.
