It can interactively run in another window, giving you realtime updates on what's happening up to the point of a kernel crash. With ktrace, you are relatively screwed. Another good example is that it dump out information that ktrace can't, because of where it synchronizes. Some people recently have been seeing "EAGAIN" when they haven't expected it, with the process exiting immediately after that, with no real clue as to where in the code it's happening (e.g. which system call); truss will show this, if run in another terminal window, but ktrace will not (yes, I know it should; it doesn't. If you can't reconcile this with how you think ktrace should work, then fix it). -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
