Hi,

I'm assuming you configured a a dump-device in rc.conf, but just in case, here are the options:

db ~> grep dump /etc/defaults/rc.conf [...@gonzales]
dumpdev="AUTO"                # Device to crashdump to (device name, AUTO, or 
NO).
dumpdir="/var/crash"  # Directory where crash dumps are to be stored
savecore_flags=""     # Used if dumpdev is enabled above, and present.

using SWAP as the dumpdevice is the recommended way, as you sorta pointed out. More information can be found at:

Hi,

I am having kernel dumps with FreeBSD 7.1

panic: semexit - semid not allocated
cpuid = 1
Uptime : 8m22s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined
Sleeping thread (tid 100129, pid 1479) owns a non-sleepable lock


I know it is not clear and there were no swap space configured on this
server (which I will re-install with swap space) but can someone
enlighten me about this since I think this bug was also in FreeBSD 6.2
and fixed in FreeBSD 6.3

Regards.
