Hi Shivanth,

your email provides little to no information so right now, nobody can help you.

What system do you have? What DragonFly version are you running? Is it
SMP or UP?

What's the "crash" (I assume panic?) about? Can you get a core dump or
at least a backtrace? You could do so by typing "trace" at the db>
prompt. For the former, you'd type "call dumpsys".

Regards,
Alex Hornung

My system has been running 'make -j3 Buildword ' for an eternity now .
Worst -the make buildword causes the kernel to crash after 3-4 hours .
And it seems the make command does not continue from where it stopped
the last time instead it rebuilds the entire tree . Am i doing something
wrong .Is there a config file for buildwprld where i can change this

Thank you
Shivanth


Well i got it right now . I's running it on a VBox(UP) and it had too little memory i guess . And sorry for using the term crash there , the make process was actually stopped because it ran out of memory and swap . There's a shell after i pressed the Ctrl-c . So the problem was not with the kernel . Then i increased the memory to 512M and the process was completed in 9 hours .
