What were you trying to do?
Reboot my workstation with SAVECORE set to true after a panic.
What's wrong:
The AFS cachesize is set in /etc/rc before savecore is called.
Savecore, of course, tends to take up a whole lot of space on
/site. The cache plus the saved vmcore and vmunix were enough
to quite easily fill up my /site, making the workstation
pretty much unuseable.
What should have happened:
I'm not sure. Consider setting the cachesize to the minimum
(2000) in the place where the size is currently being set,
before the daemons are started up. Then, after savecore is
executed, do the actual calculations that are being done
before savecore right now, and use an "fs cachesize" call to
change the size of the cache if necessary.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
/etc/rc.
