Following my last week's post:
Host crashing when transferring large files (>100MB) over from my
4.7-RELEASE vmware host to a remote SMB server:

-------------

I have added the following to my kernel config:
makeoptions     DEBUG=-g
options         DDB

Then did:
cd /usr/src && make clean && make cleandir && make buildkernel
kernconf=KERNEL && make installkernel kernconf=KERNEL
(however, there arent two copies of kernel built as described by the FAQ
(/kernel and /kernel.debug)

I edited my /etc/rc.conf to the following:
dumpdev="/dev/ad2s1e"   
dumpdir="/var/crash"    

HOWEVER, my /var/crash doesnt contain any core dumps, even after
multiple panics ( i simple copied over some large files to a remote host
to crash my 4.7-RELEASE)

Even did a "dumpon /dev/ad2s1e" to no avail.

I can confirm that /dev/ad2s1e exists and is of 1024MB partition,
whereas my system memory is 768MB.

Did I leave anything out? 

Thanks again
