What exactly does

kernel dumps on /dev/mirror/gm0s1b

mean? Not that it saves any kernel dumps at least.. But otoh I have
no clue why it crashed at all and if it even did try to dump kernel
or if it just blacked out as when i tried to debug clamd...

It means that the system died and released the sphincter when it did.
If you have dumpdev='AUTO'
dumpdir='/var/crash'
in your rc.conf, then you can find the crash dump in ${dumpdir}, then
you can use kgdb to retrieve the backtrace from the dump.


I got dumpdev="/dev/mirror/gm0s1b", savecore doesnt extract any dumps :/
