I got this message after a recent system crash: checking for core dump...savecore: reboot after panic: page fault savecore: system went down at Sat Jan 3 18:35:32 1998 savecore: no dump, not enough free space on device not enough free space? On which device? in my /var/crash directory? How much space does actually this dump need? Equal to the size of my swap partition? If so.. why dump to /var by default. Most people don't have hundreds of mb's free in var? Maybe a comment in /etc/rc.conf about this? Maybe savecore should say something like this: savecore: /var: no dump, not enough free space on device Anyone? Any why not send this error msg to syslogd? (This is a good thing if you don't have a serial console.)
