i am writing to ask a question on crash file sizing. we use DU 4.0d,
alpha 4100s, with over 2000 MB memory, and not much disk. we have
opt'd for a small primary swap file (256 MB) and a larger secondary
swap file, max 2000 MB.
my question is, when a system panics: the crash file recording will
start in the small primary, spill over into the secondary, and if
need, start writing on top of what was in the small primary - circular
recording. am i correct in my understanding?
if i am understnding - how will i know where in the crash file the
last gasp is recorded. the customer does not want to have large (2000
MB and higher) disk allocations for crash.
i have looked for references to read, but have found none - i want to
understand what happens w/r to a crash file in a panic.
thanks
