ryan,
i think i was a bit vague in my email. I am correctly usnig the swap device and dump directory. Before the system reboots the core should be saved from the swap device (before it mounts) and into the path that i specified. dumpdev="/dev/ad0s1b", our 2gb swap device and dumpdir="/usr/crash"
So I am doing all this correctly, yet still no dump comes up and I am not sure why! =(
Hi Ashwin,
for what it's worth, I have exactly the same problem on my Dell GX 260/FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE machine. When it panics, it says it's starting to write a dump, but doesn't continue. The disk lights remain off, so there's definitely no activity.
Strangely enough, when I use my Dual Tyan box (AMD-based) with a kernel compiled with the same config file, I get a dump without ahny problems.
I mentioned this on -hackers a few weeks ago.
Cheers, Gerald
