Operating Systems Solaris Coredumps and swap - was part of Solaris Mem Consumption Post 302223602 by jlliagre on Sunday 10th of August 2008 09:50:00 PM

Hmm, I stand corrected Smilie

I first checked on my system but the command failed:

Code:
dumpadm : dumps not supported on /dump/crashes/dumpfile

I checked further and found I was hitting a bug still unfixed as I was using ZFS to store the dumpfile. So indeed, it is possible to have a crash dump written to a file located on UFS, and safely written given the fact the filesystem regular functions are bypassed.

It is unfortunate the manual page doesn't clearly tell about this possibility.

Next time I'll read the kernel source code before posting Smilie
