The following reply was made to PR docs/183024; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Sevan Janiyan <venture37@geeklan.co.uk> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, mexas@bris.ac.uk Cc: Subject: Re: docs/183024: textdump(4) mentions call doadump, should be textdump dump Date: Fri, 30 May 2014 19:56:47 +0100 Hi, the configuration section states: "By default, kernel dumps generated on panic or via explicit requests for a dump will be regular memory dumps; how-ever, by using the textdump set command in ddb(4), or by setting the debug.ddb.textdump.pending sysctl to 1 using sysctl(8), it is possible to request that the next dump be a textdump." when you call doadump, the textdump is created, it's not possible to set the type after requesting a dump because the dump happens there & then on call. On 10.0-RELEASE TEXTDUMP_PREFERRED is honored. Entering the debugger & running call doadump outputs textdump: creating 'ddb.txt'. textdump: creating 'config.txt'. textdump: creating 'msgbuf.txt'. textdump: creating 'msgbuf.txt'. textdump: creating 'version.txt'. Textdump complete. = 0
