You can't trust the system to write to the disk on a BSOD. If the crash is bad enough
to BSOD then
it is bad enough to hose a fat16/32/ext2 fs. A crash that cannot be recovered from that
results in
a BSOD should ONLY BSOD. If you can figure out a way to fix /DEBUGPORT=FILE to flush its
buffers
and safely write to disk on BSOD I have a bounty for you. This is way doing a memory dump
or
minidump of a crash is inheritly risky which is why it should be off by default.
Thanks
Steven

That is why us real testers use /DEBUGPORT=COM1. ;0)

On Linux you can use a LVM snapshot
volume for stuff like that. Of curse
blue.sys needed some kind of independent file system and hard disk driver.
