OK. How the ***** do I get a *!@#$@$#% crash dump on current? I did a dumpon to enable the dumping, which appeared to work. I then did a savecore after the system came back up (but before any swapping happened) and that seemed to work. I then tried to use gdb to read the core dump and got the following: 9:58am hammer:/dell/crash[52]> sudo gdb -k *.2 GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
