Kernels built in debug mode contain debug data in separate files that are used for debugging. -FreeBSD releases prior to 11.0 store these debug files in the same directory as the kernel itself, [.filename]#/boot/kernel/#. -In FreeBSD 11.0 and later the debug files are stored in [.filename]#/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/#. +The debug files are stored in [.filename]#/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/#. Note that there will be little or no performance loss from running a debug kernel, and it is useful to keep one around in case of a system panic. When running low on disk space, there are different options to reduce the size of [.filename]#/boot/kernel/# and [.filename]#/usr/lib/debug/#.
