fs type and path options in kdump.conf

Issue

• Our /etc/kdump.conf is the following:

  ext3 /dev/sda5
  path /var/crash
  

• And, following is the result of df on this machine.

  /dev/sda3             35550448   2633040  31082384   8% /
  /dev/sda7             10153988    202576   9427296   3% /var
  /dev/sda6             10153988    154236   9475636   2% /dil
  /dev/sda5             17872388    176204  16773656   2% /var/crash
  /dev/sda1               101086     11374     84493  12% /boot
  tmpfs                   517548         0    517548   0% /dev/shm
  

• Looks the line 'ext3 /dev/sda5' in /etc/kdump.conf is not needed. Is it correct?
