You have more than enough space to do it to. Swap memory is not dumped, only RAM is... typicall it is dumped to the swap partition. In this case you have well more than enough.
If your /etc/fstab showed "/dev/da3s1b" as your 1.6 gig swap partition, you would add "dumpon=/dev/da3s1b" to your /etc/rc.conf. then make sure that /var/crash has about 400M available space on it and the OS will take care of the rest for you. After a crash you can do "gdb -k /var/crash/kernel.X /var/crash/vmcore.X" then the standard gdb kernel commands like "bt". -- David Cross | email: cro...@cs.rpi.edu Systems Administrator/Research Programmer | Web: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
