> Sorry if this sounds really dumb, but I've been wondering, what's the > difference between a crash dump and a core dump? A crash dump has: system image (kmem), including all processes It is a dump of the OS virtual address space. A core dump has: core image of single process It is a dump of a process virtual address space. A crashdump occurs when the machine panics and must be rebooted. A coredump occurs when a process gets a segmentation violation, a bus error, an unhandled floating exception, an illegal instruction, or another error which causes the process to be unable to continue running.
