Thanks for answer

Doesnt look like I got any "usable" dump devices..
When booting i get

GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1 created (id=3D4118114647).
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: provider ad6s1 detected.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: provider ad10s1 detected.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: provider ad6s1 activated.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: provider mirror/gm0s1 launched.
GEOM_MIRROR: Device gm0s1: rebuilding provider ad10s1.
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mirror/gm0s1a
WARNING: / was not properly dismounted
Loading configuration files.
No suitable dump device was found.
Entropy harvesting:
interrupts
ethernet
point_to_point
kickstart
.
swapon: adding /dev/mirror/gm0s1b as swap device

Then naturally:
/etc/rc: WARNING: Dump device does not exist.  Savecore not run.

Looked around in the rc-scripts and tried to figure out what it did, =20
the dumpon script
tries to autolookup a good dump device but finds none..
According to the page you linked to, the dumpon command has to be =20
executed AFTER swapon.. Why is the rc scripts trying to run it before =20=

swapon then?
Anyway, tried to do dumpon manually on my swap drive:

$ dumpon -v /dev/mirror/gm0s1b
dumpon: ioctl(DIOCSKERNELDUMP): Operation not supported

Didn't work too good..
Also tried savecore manually:

$ savecore /var/crash/ /dev/mirror/gm0s1b
savecore: no dumps found

Didnt work very good either (but probably expected since there was no =20=

working dumps..)
Google showed me some other thread in this list about gmirror swap =20
dump, just a question (if it was supported) w/o any answers tho. Same =20=

error as I got.

Hope this helps.
Thanks again

Johan
