:Hi,
:
:To reduce kernel dump sizes, one can set the hw.physmem kernel env var
:to a small value at boot time. However, recently I experienced that
:savecore(8) fails to fetch the dump if the actually used physmem size
:differs from the one used at dump time.
:
:Could this be fixed?

:Thanks,
:Csaba
The dump is calculated from the end of swap space backwards, based on
physical memory. So the answer is: not easily. But you might be able
to work around the problem by adding an option to savecore to allow
the amount of physical memory (as of when the crash occured) to be
specified.
