I'm trying to save a crash dump using savecore, and I'm seeing this: Feb 19 05:31:05 chief2 savecore: reboot after panic: page fault savecore: unable to open bounds file, using 0 savecore: writing core to vmcore.0 savecore: write error on vmcore.0 file: Value too large to be stored in data type savecore: WARNING: vmcore may be incomplete Feb 19 05:32:17 chief2 savecore: write error on vmcore.0 file: Value too large to be stored in data type savecore: unsaved dumps found but not saved The vmcore.0 created is only 16M. The system has 4gb of RAM, and the dump device is about 40gb. Should I be concerned about this error message, and if so, how can I work around it? System is -CURRENT as of yesterday. Kris Gale
