It just means that some events weren't logged (kdump will tell you when there are dropped events via a 'events dropped' message, but it can't tell you how many were dropped or what kind they were). You can up the number of request objects in the pool via the kern.ktrace.request_pool sysctl. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
