Kernel netdump project
Committed to SVN in r333283 and nearby commits.
Contact: Mark Johnston
Netdump provides kernel core dumping over the network, instead of to a local disk. It implements a very minimal UDP/IPv4 stack and uses a custom UDP protocol to transmit the dump to the netdump server running on another host.
Netdump should find use in diskless workstation clusters, PXE-booted test machines, and perhaps when doing disk driver development.
See netdump(4) and dumpon(8) for configuration info.
