--- Comment #10 from Bren <[email protected]> ---
Good to know. I don't see any evidence whatsoever that a dump is even being
attempted which lead me to believe that maybe I didn't have enough space.

# dumpon -l
mirror/swap

Coincidentally, as soon as I read this, the server seized up again. I was
running:

# freebsd-version -kru
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p1
14.2-RELEASE-p5

We've been using rsync to sync snapdirs for years and have never seen an issue
like this (we are rsync'ing the the live filesystem now hoping that would
help).

Rebooted into 14.3. Dumps are definitely configured. Triggered a panic manually
and the system said I needed about 4.2GB but only have 2GB. Turned on
compression which seemed to allow the dump to complete, but there is still no
dump file in /var/crash.

Now that I write this, I wonder if it's because I'm using mirrored encrypted
swap that is wiped on every boot. Logs say the dump will be written
unencrypted, but I think it's getting wiped either way. Will need to
reconfigure this.

Still trying to figure out the correct parameters to get watchdogd working
correctly. Before, when I was rsync'ing the snapdirs, just running a simple
'/bin/ps' would be enough trigger watchdog when the system would freeze. That
doesn't work now, so I made a script that touches a few files. Hopefully I can
get a proper dump soon.
