I have a number of actions that reliably panic the system, such as performing shutdown -p (yes I'm booting into an inconsistent file system every time). Both with my notebook and my workstation. However I cannot get the system to dump. dumpdir=/var/crash and I've tried ada0s2b, /dev/ada0s2b, label/5swap, /dev/label/5swap and AUTO for dumpdev to no avail. The swap partition is 16g, the machines have 8g RAM and there's plenty of hard disk space available for /var/crash. I'm looking for that secret, undocumented trigger, that makes the system dump if a panic occurs. Once upon a time dumping just worked if the swap partition was large enough. I miss those olden days. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
