----Security_Multipart(Sat_Jan__7_17_11_03_2012_364)-- Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, Last year, I took PR/159650. This PR is related to the crash dump. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=docs/159650 As you know, "dumpdev" variable of rc.conf file is "AUTO" in HEAD, but changed to "NO" on the stable branches. References RELENG_9 : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf#rev1.394.2.2 RELENG_8 : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf#rev1.358.2.2 RELENG_6 : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf#rev1.252.2.17 However, developers-handbook "10.1.1 Configuring the Dump Device" only says "AUTO is the default as of FreeBSD 6.0." http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html#CONFIG-DUMPDEV We should update this sentence. And I also would like to mention the crash dump menu of the bsdinstall, recently kensmith@ added http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1485239+0+archive/2011/svn-src-all/20111204.svn-src-all Please review the follwoing patch: Index: chapter.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ryusuke/work/cvs-doc/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug/chapter.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.80 diff -u -r1.80 chapter.sgml --- chapter.sgml 2 Dec 2010 14:53:45 -0000 1.80 +++ chapter.sgml 7 Jan 2012 06:54:34 -0000 @@ -76,8 +76,13 @@ &man.rc.conf.5; to the path of the swap device (the recommended way to extract a kernel dump) or <filename>AUTO</filename> to use the first configured swap - device. <filename>AUTO</filename> is the default as of - &os; 6.0.</para> + device.
