Hi. A couple of days ago I upgrades the system and a few ports on a 5.3 box and since then I'm often getting crashes. -bash-2.05b# uname -a FreeBSD jupiter.noonlights.net 5.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #0: Sun Feb 13 22:56:47 CET 2005 root@jupiter.noonlights.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JUPITER i386 I'd like to get a crash dump and so I added the following lines to /etc/rc.conf dumpdev="/dev/ad0s1b" dumpdir="/usr/crash" -bash-2.05b# ls -ld /usr/crash/ drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Feb 16 11:17 /usr/crash/ but I'm not getting any dump! /usr/crash is always empty. ..and the machine crashes quite often: -bash-2.05b# last|grep reboot reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 20:04 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 19:17 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 18:40 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 17:26 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 14:07 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 12:39 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 11:30 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 10:27 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 09:31 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 09:16 What do I miss? Do I need some kernel option?
