I have a swap partition, that is 6G, and my box has 4G of ram. Also, later this evening, it apparently panic'd again, but my screen was off, and I couldnt get it to do anything without a hard reboot.. and it appeared to have -attempted- to savecore, but said "permission denied" even though /var/crash exists and was writeable by root. I have since created another directory, chown'd it 777 and set it as the dumpdir. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
