Hi, the configuration section states:
"By default, kernel dumps generated on panic or via explicit requests
for a dump will be regular memory dumps; how-ever, by using the textdump
set command in ddb(4), or by setting the debug.ddb.textdump.pending
sysctl to 1 using sysctl(8), it is possible to request that the next
dump be a textdump."
when you call doadump, the textdump is created, it's not possible to set
the type after requesting a dump because the dump happens there & then
on call.
On 10.0-RELEASE TEXTDUMP_PREFERRED is honored.
Entering the debugger & running call doadump outputs
textdump: creating 'ddb.txt'.
textdump: creating 'config.txt'.
textdump: creating 'msgbuf.txt'.
textdump: creating 'msgbuf.txt'.
textdump: creating 'version.txt'.
Textdump complete.
