After my recent panic attack :) I want to enable dumping in /etc/rc.conf In my "The Complete FreeBSD" book 2nd. ed. p. 88, it says to change the following: dumpdev=NO savecore=NO to: dumpdev=/dev/wd0s1b (where this is the swap device) savecore=YES I had the dumpdev line in rc.conf, so I changed it appropriately, but there was no savecore, so I added the line. Is this correct, or does having dumpdev set to a device imply savecore thus making it redundant. Is there any way of testing this ie. simulate a panic? thanks, Brian Adkins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
