Is it possible to save crashdumps onto a gmirror device? I'm trying to understand why one of my systems (being upgraded from 5.3BETA4 to 5.3) is sponteously rebooting. The first step seems to be to try to get a crash dump, but: (merlin)[5:16pm]~>>sudo dumpon -v /dev/mirror/gm0s1b Password: dumpon: ioctl(DIOCSKERNELDUMP): Operation not supported (merlin)[5:16pm]~>> Is the problem that one can't dump onto a gmirror'ed device, or is there something else that I'm missing. I'm running a default kernel, w/ an 'options smp' added. g.
