Given that the server that I need to create a dumpdev on has has a

# mkdir /var/crash
# chmod 700 /var/crash
and set *dumpdev* in */etc/fstab* as such?:
No. For the dumpdev in most cases you can use your swap.
Also you will need a dumpdir - directory where crash will be saved by
the savecore(8).
Try this:
# cat >> /etc/rc.conf
dumpdev="AUTO"
dumpdir="/var/crash"
^D
# /etc/rc.d/dumpon start
WOW! Thank you Andrey, for the prompt and informative reply!
It's just like me sometimes, to make things more difficult than
they're intended. :-P
OK then. If I understand you correctly, I simply need to create:
/var/crash (the default)
then correctly set perms:
chmod 700 /var/crash
add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
dumpdev="AUTO"
dumpdir="/var/crash"
bounce the server and ensure that /etc/rc.d/dumpon is started
immediately after the boot process has completed.
Correct?
OOPS! /etc/rc.d/dumpon is moot, given that dumpdev="AUTO" is already
set in /etc/rc.conf.
Sorry, I should have waited 30 seconds longer before replying.
Thanks again.
