VMWare vs /etc/rc.d/syscons?

Not sure where this issue is coming from I suspect it may be something that DragonFly-1.6.0-RELEASE doesn't like about VMWare. I'm developing a few semi-embedded systems built on DragonFlyBSD, I'm building the systems up in VMWare (Server 1.0.1) and I've noticed sometimes the DragonFly boot will

crash dumps and slices (?)

2006-09-19 Thread Gergo Szakal
Hello, If i set dumpdev to the slice (bad term?) representing /var, will the system be able to access /home ? (asking because symlinked /var/crash to /home/var.crash)

Dumpdev should be set to the swap slice, but maybe that's what you already have done. The system will be able to access /home as long as it's mounted automatically on startup in /etc/fstab and place it where the symlink /var/crash points to. Regards, Jonas Trollvik On 9/19/06, Gergo Szakal

No worries. Gmail sorts everything out fine for me anyways =) you could try to restore /var from the livecd in case you dont want to reinstall the whole system. newfs and cpdup should be able to handle this for you Good luck! //Jonas On 9/20/06, Gergo Szakal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jonas
