Hi. I installed 9.0-RELEASE on sparc64 with a clean disk using the partition scheme that was suggested by the installer. I enabled crash dumps (dumpdev="AUTO"). But at boot the dumpon command fails, apparently because the swap partition is too small. $ dmesg | grep memory real memory = 805306368 (768 MB) avail memory = 762691584 (727 MB) # swapinfo -h Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/ada0b 746424 0B 729M 0% # dumpon -v /dev/ada0b /dev/ada0b is smaller than physical memory There are no minidumps on sparc64. So unless I reinstall there does not appear to be a way to save crash dumps. Maybe swapon(8) is being overly restrictive, I don't know. Cheers Michiel
