A crash dumper does not have to be implemented with a reboot; this is just something Linux chooses to do. I have actually worked on kernel code that performs crash dumps to disk and over the network, if you find that kind of expertise relevant.

I really do.

I believe kexec/kdump does execute in place and does not go through a full reboot, am I wrong ?
