Is it possible to create "kernel memory" dump using .dump?

All I can do is to create complete memory dump using .dump /f.

Look at the documentation (.hh from the WinDbg command line).

.dump /m

That generates a minidump, which might be OK. The kernel-memory-only
kernel dump (medium-sized kernel dump, between minidump and full dump)
cannot be generated by .dump. The kernel code involved in determining
which pages are useful or not is too complex to reimplement in the
debugger itself.

/m creates a 64kB dump for me. I’m looking for something that would make the
same dump as “kernel memory dump” option in System Properties.

Thank you. May I suggest to add this info to the WinDbg help? The question
is probably reasonable and common enough to warrant that - I spent few
minutes staring at the .dump page trying to find an answer and then trying
some commands in vain…

We’ll add a mention of this in the docs.
