I just experienced a panic on our (4.0/amd64) file server, which dropped
into ddb.
I issued a sync command, which synced the disks, unmounted them (which
I've never noticed before) and then went on to
'man ddb' has
sync Force a crash dump, and then reboot.
Sorry, I didn't look there. Thanks.
So I guess the command name has, ehm, historc reasons.
Sorry for the noise.
On reboot, the file systems were marked clean; but savecore tried to fetch
the dump I had aborted (I interrupted that).
Shouldn't the dump be marked valid only after it was fully done?
it's better to attempt to save a partial dump in the case that
the system hung half way thru the dumping.
