Question: Does anaconda create /var/crash during install?
if yes, good.
On my default system I see /var/crash is present. That means anaconda
created it during installation.
Now I can't think of a reason that why ananconda will not do the same
thing when a different disk is mounted on /var. But this is something
to keep in mind and test explicitly.
If not, do we need to keep the mkdir? or modify anaconda to
create /var/crash?
I still don't think that kdump should create /var/crash directory. If
need be, fix anaconda.
Thanks
