Just added the dumpdev line, here is my rc.conf # cat /etc/rc.conf sshd_enable="YES" wlans_urtw0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" zfs_enable="YES" hostname="blackbeast.local" linux_enable="YES" powerd_enable='YES' dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" avahi_daemon_enable="YES" avahi_dnsconfd_enable="YES" mdnsd_enable="YES" kdm4_enable="YES" local_startup="/usr/local/kde4/etc/rc.d /usr/local/etc/rc.d" devfs_system_ruleset="system" quasselcore_enable="YES" font8x8="iso-8x8" allscreens_flags="VGA_80x60" dumpdev="/dev/ada0p2" and here is my fstab (I disabled geli several reboots/crashes ago, thinking that may be what was preventing the crash dumps, as well as changed the swap line to point directly to the partition, rather than the gpt label) # cat /etc/fstab /dev/ada0p2 none swap sw 0 0 #/dev/gpt/swap0.eli none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw,late 0 0 _______________________________________________ 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"
