Yes, you need that option because it's DEADLKRES that triggers the panic. > I've never used trace. > Also, I'm getting a panic, so cannot run ps, I think. > You can run 'ps' from ddb prompt.

The manpage has detailed description about how to do this. > Thanks > > Anton -- Davide "There are no solved problems; there are only problems that are more or less solved" -- Henri Poincare _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
