Hi.
A couple of days ago I upgrades a few ports on a 5.3 box and since then I'm often getting crashes.
-bash-2.05b# uname -a
FreeBSD jupiter.noonlights.net 5.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p5 #0: Wed Feb 16 23:36:03 CET 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JUPITER i386
I'd like to get a crash dump and so I added the following lines to /etc/rc.conf dumpdev="/dev/ad0s1b" dumpdir="/usr/crash"
-bash-2.05b# swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/ad0s1b 503360 0 503360 0%
-bash-2.05b# ls -ld /usr/crash/ drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Feb 16 11:17 /usr/crash/
the machine only has 256MB RAM and the filesystem has over 5 GB free, but I'm not getting any dump! /usr/crash/ is always empty.
..and the machine crashes quite often: -bash-2.05b# last|grep reboot reboot ~ Thu Feb 17 07:58 reboot ~ Thu Feb 17 01:23 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 22:48 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 21:59 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 21:37 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 21:08 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 20:56 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 20:44 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 20:20 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 20:04 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 19:17 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 18:40 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 17:26 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 14:07 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 12:39 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 11:30 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 10:27 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 09:31 reboot ~ Wed Feb 16 09:16 reboot ~ Mon Feb 14 14:11 reboot ~ Sun Feb 13 23:49 reboot ~ Sun Feb 13 22:33 reboot ~ Sun Feb 13 12:22
What do I miss? Do I need some kernel option to get a crash dump?
Best regards.
