Hello List, I am trying to get a crash dump but am unable to with FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE-p2 /etc/defaults/rc.conf dumpdir="/var/crash" # Directory where crash dumps are to be stored savecore_flags="" # Used if dumpdev is enabled above, and present. Z2873# sysctl -a |grep physmem hw.physmem: 259481600 Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free Z2873# dumpon -v /dev/ad0s1b kernel dumps on /dev/ad0s1b reboot -d ... dumping 255M 2 chunks Then nothing - the system doesn't reboot and I have to hard reset it. When it comes back up there is no crash file in /var/crash from /var/log/messages: Sep 17 07:28:12 Z2873 kernel: ad0: 28615MB <IBM DJSA-230 JS6OAB0A> at ata0-master UDMA66 Sep 17 07:28:12 Z2873 kernel: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Sep 17 07:28:12 Z2873 savecore: no dumps found Is this broken? Thanks, Steve -- "They that give up essential liberty to obtain temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
