If I do a "reboot -d" on the host, as expected the kernet panics, reboots and creates a crash dump file in /var/crash
However no crash file is created in testzone.
My question is how can I tell if a zone crashs or shuts down... (4 Replies)

Hello Guys,
I need a little help here. I have been studying crash dump and per what I am reading, you can dedicate a slice to use as a dump device. Now when you dedicate this slice, do you have to :
1) create a mount point?
2) add entry in /etc/vfstab?
3) is this slice wu or wm?
4) should... (3 Replies)

crashinfo
CRASHINFO(8) BSD System Manager's Manual CRASHINFO(8)
NAME
crashinfo -- analyze a core dump of the operating system
SYNOPSIS
crashinfo [-d crashdir] [-n dumpnr] [-k kernel] [core]
DESCRIPTION
The crashinfo utility analyzes a core dump saved by savecore(8). It generates a text file containing the analysis in the same directory as
the core dump. For a given core dump file named vmcore.XX the generated text file will be named core.txt.XX.
By default, crashinfo analyzes the most recent core dump in the core dump directory. A specific core dump may be specified via either the
core or dumpnr arguments. Once crashinfo has located a core dump, it analyzes the core dump to determine the exact version of the kernel
that generated the core. It then looks for a matching kernel file under each of the subdirectories in /boot. The location of the kernel
file can also be explicitly provided via the kernel argument.
Once crashinfo has located a core dump and kernel, it uses several utilities to analyze the core including dmesg(8), fstat(1), iostat(8),
ipcs(1), kgdb(1), netstat(1), nfsstat(1), ps(1), pstat(8), and vmstat(8).
The options are as follows:
-d crashdir
Specify an alternate core dump directory. The default crash dump directory is /var/crash.
-n dumpnr
Use the core dump saved in vmcore.dumpnr instead of the latest core in the core dump directory.
-k kernel
Specify an explicit kernel file.
SEE ALSO
textdump(4), savecore(8)
HISTORY
The crashinfo utility appeared in FreeBSD 6.4.
