Evening all ... I have a 4gig Dual CPU system that is giving me kernel panic's ... Doug White suggested getting a trace, but, alas, not figuring I'd ever need to do such, my swap looks like: jupiter# pstat -s Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/amrd0s1b 524160 169116 355044 32% Interleaved /dev/ramrd1s1b 2621312 168992 2452320 6% Interleaved Total 3145472 338108 2807364 11% So nothing large enough for a dumpdev ... I do have a file system that has 8gig free on it right now: /dev/amrd1s1a 66972328 54742133 8211856 87% /v1 But, reading through the 'dumpon' man page, it says not to use a device that has a file system on it ... The server itself is both remote, and production, which makes using DDB near impossible ... So, how do ppl go about doing such a dump in a case like this, or am I totally out of luck on this? Is there any way of using that 8gig for this? Thanks ... To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
