I've got a host that's mysteriously rebooting. There's no clue in the logs. It's not doing much - it's just a gateway. Just every few hours, it reboots. (It was a BSD 12 upgraded to 13, and it's been sitting there as a standby gateway for ages with no problem - ask it to do a bit of work and it gets in a strop). Anyway, I'm trying to figure out how to get a crash dump, assuming there's a kernel panic leading to a reboot. rc.conf: dumpdev="AUTO" # swapinfo -h Device Size Used Avail Capacity /dev/ada0p2 8.0G 0B 8.0G 0% # ls -ld /dev/dumpdev lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Oct 1 15:07 /dev/dumpdev -> /dev/ada0p2 # ls -al /crash total 10 drwxr-x--- 2 root wheel 3 Nov 15 2022 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root wheel 24 Oct 1 15:07 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5 Oct 23 2020 minfree - (contains "2048") What am I missing here? Surely when it reboots I should be seeing vmcore.0 in there. Unfortunately this host is remote. Any other bright ideas about where I can find a clue what's upsetting it would be welcome. Thanks, Frank.
