Hi Greg, Thanks a lot for the help. You are right that /var/crash doesnt have much space. So I booted in single user mode, then manually I saved crash dump into /usr/crash where I have enough space. It worked and I got the dump. But now my question is: can I change the default /var/crash directory to /usr/crash directory in the /etc/rc file of the line savecore? Will it be ok to do like? thanks for the help --gb On Fri, 5 May 2000, Greg Lehey wrote: > On Friday, 5 May 2000 at 11:50:55 +0530, G.B.Naidu wrote: > > > > I have a FreeBSD box running 3.1 release.
