# Unless you're a kernel developer or driver writer then this won't # be of any interest to you at all. # The following options allow to configure the kernel's core dump # facilities. # The dump_device variable is used to specify which device will be # used by the kernel to write the dump down. This has to be a swap # partition, and has to be at least big enough to contain the whole # physical memory (see hw.physmem sysctl(8) variable). # When the variable is commented out, no core dump will be enabled for # the kernel. #dump_device=/dev/ad0s1b # The dump_dir variable is used to tell savecore(8) utility where # to save the kernel core dump once it's restored from the dump # device. If unset, /var/crash will be used, as the default of # FreeBSD. #dump_dir=/var/crash # The dump_compress variable decide whether to compress with # gzip(1) the dump or leave it of its original size (the size of the # physical memory present on the system). If set to yes, the -z option # will be passed to savecore(8) that will proceed on compressing the # dump. #dump_compress=NO
