Subject: how do I save crash dumps...
Hi,
While booting on certain kernel, my system panics. So I enabled crash
dumps. I went through the mailing list archives and did as follows to
enable saving crash dumps:
In /etc/rc.conf file, I have added 2 lines like these:
dumpdev="/dev/wd0s1b"
savecore=YES
I made sure that dumping is enabled using the command: sysctl kern.dumpdev
Thre output of the command is as follows:
kern.dumpdev: { major = 0, minor = 131073 }
When it paniced, it dumped something and said it succeded.
But when I booted on a different good kernel, there is a line on the
screen saying: checking for coredump ... savecore: no core dump
Am I missing something here? At panic, it dumped successfully. But why it
says no core dump found? Can somebody please explain this.
thanks for the help
