You can capture ddb session in capture buffer and then extract it from the dump. In ddb run capture on do your debugging then run "panic" or "call doadump" and after reboot: ddb capture -M /var/crash/vmcore.X print > out I would recommend to increase debug.ddb.capture.bufsize sysctl variable to be sure all the ddb session will be captured. -- Mikolaj Golub _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
