Hi Dave,

could you please advise is it possible to process core dump remotely?

Currently for investigation of kernel crashes on customer nodes I need either download coredump to local node or upload debug symbols to remote node. This may not be quite convenient for various reasons.

Is it possible to use gdbserver-like functionality with crash? 

IMHO it would be great to start crash utility locally, with debug symbols but without core dump file, and then connect to gdbserver on remote node attached to core dump file. 

Thank you,
	Vasily Averin
