+A full system core dump (also called post-mortem dump) is sometimes needed to track down a bug in the DragonFlyBSD kernel.
Please note: A full core dump is obtained by triggering a kernel panic. Like when pulling the power plug from the wall socket, unsaved data will be lost, recently saved data might be lost, and filesystems mounted async might be destroyed.
