Re: VMCORE NOT FOUND

I actually changed dumpdir to /usr/crash since /var did not have enough space to accomodate 512 MB. But /usr has 60gigs. When the kernel panics it just crashes, I never get a message saying "dumping...". Savecore upon reboot says no dumps found. So i believe the problem is that the system is just crashing before it has a chance to dump? I've tried doing a DDB backtrace upon a panic. And at the prompt, when i type in panic, the system just spits out the uptime minutes, and then dies...no info that something was dumped.

Is there enough space in /var?
Does the kernel actually write the crashdump when it panics?
What does savecore print during startup after the crash?
