NAME

fs_minidump - Generate a minidump from the current afsd service

SYNOPSIS

fs minidump [-help]

DESCRIPTION

fs minidump generates a mini dump file containing the current stack of the afsd_service.exe process. This output can be very helpful when debugging the AFS Client Service when it is unresponsive to SMB/CIFS requests.

If the AFS Client Service becomes unresponsive to any form of communication there may be a serious error that can only be diagnosed by someone with access to the source code and a debugger. The "fs minidump" command can be used to force the generation of a MiniDump file containing the state of all of the threads in the AFS Client Service process.

The "MiniDumpType" registry value can be used to adjust the scope of the process information included within the dump file.

In a standard install the default location for the dump file is %windir%\temp.

CAUTIONS

This command is only available in OpenAFS for Windows version 1.4 and later.
