\"In Memory Core Dump Core dump systems allow for the state of a machineto be saved at crash time for later analysis. Often, a core dump systemwill write relevant data to a swap partition at crash time. MissionCritical Linux's system (\"\"mcore\"\") however does not rely on the disksubsystem being intact and instead uses system memory to save the crashinformation. On a subsequent reboot of the system, the crashinformation can be recovered.\"
