for getting a crash dump but I'm not getting dumps. Here's the
relevant line from rc.conf:
dumpdev=/dev/da1s1b
And it seems to be OK as dumpon has no problem
when I set this manually:
blacksheep# dumpon -v /dev/da1s1b
kernel dumps on /dev/da1s1b
My swap partition is 750 MB and the total system
memory is 384 MB. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, no. Read this today, though:

Since I've not read the handbook section you mention, I can't
say if it's duplicate info or not. But this was pretty good stuff,
as Michael's stuff always seems to be
Thanks for your reply. In going over everything again, I finally
figured out I had made a dumb mistake. I have a small root partition
(500 MB) and normally symlink /var to /var/usr. However in this case, I
hadn't made that symlink after restoring from a disk crash about a month
ago. So there was not enough room in /var/crash to create the dump.
'savecore' was keeping me from shooting myself in the foot. :)
Thanks,
Drew
