X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2007 03:07:10 -0000 I'm trying to find out the best way to set up minidumps on my gmirror drives. I have some questions about what is considered the correct way of doing this. In particular: 1) The release notes say to "sysctl debug.minidump=1", but isn't doing this in /etc/sysctl.conf too late in the process? 2) The examples I've found (http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200608/gmirror_1.html) say to add gmirror configure commands to /etc/rc.early and /etc/rc.local, but the manpage says these are deprecated? Where should these commands be placed? Terry Kennedy http://www.tmk.com terry@tmk.com New York, NY USA
