Thanks!
Well, on my production system, I am not dumping any kernels. Once It crashes, I reboot it and go back into production. Anything dumped would get wiped out. Luckily I am pretty conservative and only move to new versions of the OS when they have been released a while and so my machines have not had panics in years.
It's up to you, of course, but it's been my experience that you might regret the small expenditure of a few gigabytes one day when you do run into a panic you need help to solve...
Of course, now that I have mentioned it, my luck will change and something bad will happen.
I am not running cheap large IDE disks, but expensive fast high performance U320 disks on RAID controllers and so the extra GB does cost something. If I get a repeating panic, I can boot off a recovery disk and add in extra swap I guess.
Thanks
I always learn a lot here (I just wish someone could help me with the mail submission question I posted)
Chad
