The only solution I see is to put early in /etc/rc (i.e. before cache
size computation):
if [ ${SAVECORE}x = truex -a -r /etc/savecore ] ; then
/etc/savecore /usr/crash
savecoredone=yes
fi
and change the later savecore invocation to add "-a ${savecoredone}x =
x". This means you can copy /etc/savecore local to be safe, or use the
copy on the packs and take the chance of overflowing a partition. (I
verified that test will do the right thing in the above code even though
a symlink /etc/savecore exists in all cases).
I don't think flushing the cache on every reboot (which is what setting
cache size to 2000 would do) is a good idea.
