has anyone seen this problem on a panic? i have 4GB of physical memory, running 5.2.1 RC. I had a panic occur, and it won't write the whole vmcore. 1985347584 is the size of the vmcore i get (not compressed). Its not useful as far as i can tell, gdb doesn't know where to begin. My swap partition is 8GB. The filesystem i'm saving the vmcore too is plenty big enough. Mar 4 16:05:09 cdata savecore: write error on vmcore.1 file: Value too large to be stored in data type Mar 4 16:05:09 cdata savecore: WARNING: vmcore may be incomplete Mar 4 16:05:09 cdata savecore: unsaved dumps found but not saved I'm not sure what 'value to large...' message means in this context. Can someone suggest how to get my core file? $ swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/da0s1b 8388608 0 8388608 0% dumpdev="/dev/da0s1b" # Device name to crashdump to (or NO). dumpdir="/usr/crash"
