Other useful pieces of functionality that savecore lost: - The ability to not save a dump if: - It would completely fill up the disk (and warn if it would cause disk usage to go above 100%) - It would exceed the administrator's configured free space (i.e. /var/crash/minfree) - Logging to syslog; errors and messages from the new savecore are likely to get lost. I liked having things like Feb 11 23:19:45 stash savecore: reboot after panic: bremfree: bp 0xc302523c not locked Feb 11 23:19:46 stash savecore: no dump, not enough free space on device (86040 available, need 102328) in /var/log/messages. There was a patch to restore the "vmcore.N" functionality posted to -current on April 18th, and a couple of followups. I haven't tried it yet since the other two lost features are much more important to me.
