I added '-D', Just like before, no more debugging message:
BTW, I use crash to analyze the vmcore file created by 'cp' command.
./crash ../makedumpfile/code/vmcore_4.15+_from_cp_command
../makedumpfile/code/vmlinux_4.15+
the crash works well, It's so interesting.
Thanks,
dou.
The debugging message with '-D':
[douly@...alhost code]$ ./makedumpfile -D -d 31 --message-level 31 -x
