      Section title: Lab: Troubleshooting Kernel Issues
      Language: English

      Issue description

      "Procedure 10.3. Instructions" that "Configure the dumps to write locally to the /var/crash directory with the lzo compression algorithm to reduce the crash dump size and to {}save only user data pages.{}"

      As per ยง 6.1 "core_collector makedumpfile -l --message-level 31 -d 23" is correct, but due to a mistake, I configured "core_collector makedumpfile -l --message-level 31 -d 8" instead (which is clearly a mistake, because I didn't read that the "X" in "man makedumpfile" mean excluded, but not included).

      Unfortunately, the "lab grade kernel-review" still said: "Overall lab grade: PASS"

      From my point of view, this is a bug in the grade script, because it should detect such a configuration mistake.

      Steps to reproduce:

      Workaround:

      Expected result:
