Crash dump space requirement

Hi All,
I have set my dump device to capture all the kernel pages. here is how it is setup
Dump content: kernel pages
Dump device: /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4 (dedicated)
Savecore directory: /var/crash/xxxxxxxx (minfree = 20000KB)
Savecore enabled: yes
now, i want to determine what should be the size of /var/crash to capture the crash dump, if the sysem panics :-(
I have seen lastly when the sytem paniced there wasn't sufficient space to capture the entire crash dump.
currently /var/crash is of size 998MB.
let me know.
thanks

[Chapter 17 Managing System Crash Information |http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0403/tscrashdumps-40145?a=view] in the Solaris10 Advanced System Admin guide has some info you may find useful.

Crash dump size too big (ZFS cache is counted as kernel pages)

Hi,
After a system crash, no crash dump was available: kernel size is 17GB ( ! ) probably because we use ZFS and ZFS cache is counted as kernel pages.
How to do not save ZFS cache in dump ?
Thanks.
Alain.

I checked around with more collegues and the problem of the ZFS ARC that is included in the crashdump is described in BUG ID 4894692 (caching data in heap inflates crash dump).
This BUG is solved in Solaris 10 U4 or in the kernel patch 120011-14.
If you don't want that ZFS ARC inflates the crashdumps, please upgrade to sol10 U4 or upgrade at least to this latest kernel patch ...

I can't install itunes to windows 7 64 bit because of computing space requirements

I tried to install iTunes 10.7 on my computer but it stops when the installation says :computing space requirements. Then it just says "rolling back action", "the installation was unsuccessful". I don't know what's going on because I have more than 40 GB of free space on my hard disk drive. I also tried with an older version of iTunes but it keeps doing the same thing.

it stops when the installation says :computing space requirements. Then it just says "rolling back action", "the installation was unsuccessful"
Having the installer quit at that particular moment is consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Firefox crashes - No crash dump file - No longer works

For some reason, I've had a few problems with Firefox recently. The latest is that each time I try to load it, it crashes straight away, occasionally letting me send an error report, others not. It always comes up with an error that states: Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Unfortunately the crash reporter is unable to submit a crash report. Details: The application did not leave a crash dump file.
I've tried restarting my computer in safe mode to see if it works then, but it is coming up with the same error. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, yet nothing has helped at all. I've also got problems opening Chrome and Safari, and now Explorer seems to be the only browser that works on my computer. I've downloaded malwarebytes by recommendation from a family member, yet that isn't finding any viruses/malware on my computer. As that's what I initially thought it could be. As I'm unable to open Firefox at all, I'm unable to obtain any previous crash ID's. I do have the details that come up in the 'Details' box when Firefox says that it has crashed, but unsure whether that would help establish any sort of information to help with the issue. I'm not that technically minded, so if someone could help me out with it, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm stuck using Opera, and it was alright for a while, but now I'm getting annoyed that Firefox isn't working at all. It won't even open.
I really would appreciate the help!

Do you have Roboform installed?
Do you have a SSO (single sign on) extension installed?

I HAVE A SONY VAIO WITH WINDOWS VISTA- SUDDENLY I'M GETTING A BLUE SCREEN (crash dump)THAT SHUTS DOWN MY COMPUTER. HOW DO I STOP THIS. ALREADY TRIED TO UNINSTALL AND RE INSTALL. MAY NOT HAVE DONE IT CORRECTLY ?

LAST WEEK STARTED GETTING A BLUE SCREEN (CRASH DUMP) AFTER CLOSING I TUNES, THAT CAUSES MY COMPUTER TO SHUTDOWN. IVE BEEN TOLD BY A PC REPAIR SHOP THAT I DONT HAVE A VIRUS. I DO HAVE ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION ON MY PC. ATTEMPED TO REINSTALL I TUNES BUT MAY NOT HAVE DONE IT CORRECTLY. I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE BLUE SCREEN ONLY HAPPENS WITH I TUNES. I HAVENT MADE ANY RECENT CHANGES TO MY MUSIC- NO DOWNLOADS /UPLOADS. ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SITUATION? THANKS!!

Hey Ishland,
You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.
Cheers,
Steve

IPod Touch gen 3 generating crash dumps attempting to use match

Hi Everyone,
So here's my story, I could really use some help.
I signed up for iTunes Match, ran through the matching process.
Turned on match on my device, it never deleted the local content. I also never get anything listed but the local content.
So I do some playing around and it looks like it is trying, I get the network spinner for about 15 seconds and then nothing. Did some invenstigating, and there's an icloud crash dump created on the device everytime I try to access music.
I've done everything short of a restore, can anybody help with this one??
Many Thanks!

Restoring and working with a fresh IOS 5 install has to be the way to go - there is little that can be done on the device and the iTunes Match service is clearly working well with IOS 5.
Of course - do ensure that you have a secure full backup of your iPod prior to the restore.

File Space required to Install BW3.5 Utilities/Tools in Oracle 10.2.0.3

Hi Gurus,
We are going to Install SAP BW 3.5 Utilities/Tools in Oracle 10.2.0.3 in Linux Redhat Advanced Server 3(Update 8) .
I have Couple of Questions.
1.Suggest me whether the OS and Database version are OK for SAP BW 3.5.
2.Suggest me the Space required in oracle Database in terms of GB.
This is Urgent.
Thanks & Regards

Oracle 10.2.0.<b>3</b> is not supported!!!
Note 871096 - Oracle Database 10g: Patch sets/patches for 10.2.0
10.2.0.3 has NOT been released.
Oracle Release 10.2.0.3 has not been released for use in the SAP environment, and will not be released in future. This release is not supported by SAP. We recommend that you do not install this patch set. This patch set has not been tested intensively, and not all patches required to run your SAP system are available.
For a BW system it's difficult if not impossible to tell, how much space you need. It depends on much data you will load into the system, which kind of data this is etc.

Crash dump analysis: arguments on the kernel stack

I�m working with SunOS 5.8 on SPARC sun4u.
System hangs up periodically (due to some error in our proprietary FS ).
So I�m trying to figure out what really happens - syncing system and then inspect crash dump using adb(mdb).
Having printed all the kernel threads I found few of them that are matter of interest for me, but all the tracebacks show me garbage instead of calling arguments.
Below is one such thread:
0x300025912e8: lwp procp wchan
3000258ee20 30002ccaab8 31001001240
0x300025911f8:

fbread+0xa8(1041a400, 2a751b48000, 2a751b48000, 200, 2a10056b9d8, 0)

syscall_trap32+0xa8(12, 180e88, 418, 64, 0, 0)
I inspected this thread�s stack using various macroses provided by adb :
i.e. Stackregs, stacktrace but seems that only pc and fp registers have been saved for each frame in stack. Anyway looks like incoming parameters have not been put into frames. Its probably ok, cause as I for as I know Solaris puts registers onto stack in case of register window underflow and overflow traps.
Question: how to extract incoming params for functions that comprise thread�s stack

First of all, since you are already in Sol 8, just
switch to mdb from adb - the former one provides much
more macroes and built-in commands for crash dumpanalysis.
- thats off topic, sorry. This is just a matter of preferences (constantly jumping from 5.8 to 5.7, most macroses that are in use written by me )
Also, the parameters to page_lock look pretty sane.May be I don"t understand something. Anyway :
Here is a line from stack
page_lock+0x118(1041c560, 1041be70, 0, 0, 31001001200, 1)
This is a prototype:
int page_lock(page_t *pp, se_t se, kmutex_t *lock, reclaim_t reclaim)
Usually %o0(%i0) is used for the first argument , so 0x1041c560 should point to a valid page_t structure (if we are not about to panic), but points somewhere else:
1041c560$<pagepse_mutex+0x240:vnode hash vpnext
0 0 0
pse_mutex+0x258:vpprev next prev
0 0 0
pse_mutex+0x270:offset selock lckcnt
0 0 0
pse_mutex+0x27e:cowcnt cv io_cv
0 0 0
pse_mutex+0x284:iolock_state fsdata state
0 0 0
Anyway, the stack trace entry in question is:
ufs_readdir+0x160(1fff, 30002f13670, 418, 0, 2a10056bac0, 200)
while prototype is
static int ufs_readdir(struct vnode *, struct uio *, struct cred *, int *);
Looks like poiner to vnode_t is 0x1fff�
Here seems to be 2 possibilities:
1)We are really passing some garbage as parameters
or
2)Register windows were not flushed onto stack
Actually this thread was not active when I did sync to machine.
Is it true that when kernel is rescheduling thread it drops registers onto stack ?
What docs should I refer to? (except �Panic!� by Chris Drake )
ask Tiffi where the
hell they are).
Sorry man, it's probably one of my old ones...
Lets leave Tiffi alone ... and you know that she"s not an author of what I"m currently fixing :)
.... Even more, you know exectly who was it :)
Thank you for answering.
Any comments?

DVD Disk Space Requirements - Best Performance vs. Quality

I put together an iDVD 8 project that has about 135 minutes of content. When I go to burn the DVD using the Best Performance setting, is says it takes about 7gb (and I need to use DL). When I switch to the Professional Quality setting the disk space requirements are about half (almost to the point I can use a single-layer DVD). It seems it should be the exact opposite where more detailed, less compressed images should take more disk space.
Can someone explain this apparent contradiction? Thanks.

Google and learn about MPEG2 compression.... this is the backbone to iDVD. In general you have three encoding options:
CBR: Constant Bit-Rate
Single Pass VBR (variable bit-rate)
Two-pass VBR
CBR keeps the bit rate constant and therefore is the fasted way of encoding.
VBR will vary the bit rate. Scenes with a lot of motion get a higher bit rate, static scenes a lower bit rate.
Two pass VBR will analyze the entire sequence on the first pass to determine where and how high or low to go with the bit rate and then on the second pass, do the actual encoding. The two pass method may determine that you can go with a much lower average bit rate thus saving precious disc space. This method also takes twice as long!
But, that is just the math. Some sequences look better via CBR while others look better with two-pass VBR. Unfortunately, there isn't really a way to determine this prior to the lengthy encoding process. The best thing one can do is keep content as short as possible. If I had 135 minutes of material and I was using iDVD, I would want to create 2 DVDs instead of one. But that's me.

Crash Dump Analysis, application cannot execute

Welcome,
my question regarding to dump crash. I have problem with application. When I run application, I see first intro, second intro and later application crash and return to the desktop with error stop working. I created dump file of error and paste analyze below.
I must add, that this application works properly on the other computer with Windows Server 2012 Datacenter x64. Could someone tell me, where is the problem, why application crashed with error access violation?

Metropolis software was shut down in 2009 and there is no further support or development for the products. Since their shutdown is prior to win 8 it cannot be compatible. Read about it here http://www.giantbomb.com/metropolis-software-house/3010-107/
The only thing I can suggest for you is to try re-installing the game in compatibility mode.
To install in compatibility mode do the following:
Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS

(works in vista, win 7, win 8, and win 10)

What are the disk space requirements for CC2014?

Yes, Adobe has the system requirements for each INDIVIDUAL app in CC2014 listed, but they're all listed separately. Since I'll be installing the entire suite on my new machine, I'd like to know the disk space requirements for the ENTIRE suite.
Thanks

There's a summary in the table at the bottom of the page here:
Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links: Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools

Windows media player crash dumps when i try to play songs or use most functions i.e. drag and drop,

I've been trying to download music from Amazon to my MP3 player. It successfully downloads to my computer, but when I try to do anything in Windows Media Player, I get the crash dump screen. I have, somehow, been able to download some music to the player, but now almost every time the Windows Media Player crashes. Help!

Did you copy the songs directly from a CD or did you download the files from a website?
You can use a different player than the Windows Media Player to play the songs if you copied them from a CD to avoid that.
