Hi Bruce Thanks for u r reply.
So is it that doadump is the only function which is responsible for writing dump in BSD? Or thier are other fucntion which can also do this. I will be looking into the function below which called these last few func to generate the dump. I need docs or links which could help me in understanding the role of the doadump, panic and boot.

And what do i interpret from the output above. doadump() is just the function that wrote the kernel dump: you need to look at the functions below panic() in the call stack to see what caused the crash. Already you can see that the problem was: %s: nhindex %u could not be allocated -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
