Second Nothing in /var/crash after reboot. I checked with 'savecore' manually but of course I realize now that this was pretty useless since by that time swap would have been re-enabled. So really, savecore may have given some kind of message on boot - I'm not entirely sure to what extent I checked the messages on boot after the panic. So I'm not sure what might have been printed during boot this time around. Hmm. Is there a good way to simulate a panic so that I can quicky iterate tweaks until I can be sure I get a dump? > question, do you have anything in the console log when you boot that > indicates a problem with savecore? What happens if you run Possibly but I would probably have missed it this time; previously I had the "no suitable dump device" on setup, presumably because swap was a gmirror. > '/etc/rc.d/savecore start' ? Finally, I'm assuming throughout that > your /var/crash directory is on a disk/partition with enough space for > a dump? Plenty of space (> 100 gig), though it's on ZFS in case that matters (but since this is done by savecore rather than special kernel stuff I was sort of assuming that would not be a problem). --=20 / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkpk1usACgkQDNor2+l1i339tgCgn/Nk0YdGReYw0WhRW+XxbU1u av4AoJbiFHcyALWdjZEXrpRxcNXqqpPj =ONXe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --k+w/mQv8wyuph6w0--
