I think this is because I changed the auto-reboot-after-panic time to 15 seconds, from 24 hours. I timed a write, and it takes 27 seconds to write the RAM out to the HD. Has the error reporting gone away because the system reboots before it saves a dump? If so, this little point should probably be mentioned in the handbook for people who have lots of RAM to save. Default is 16 seconds, right? --Bart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
