15 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
16 | ||
17 | B<fs minidump> generates a mini dump file containing the current stack | |
18 | of the afsd_service.exe process. This output can be very helpful when | |
19 | debugging the AFS Client Service when it is unresponsive to SMB/CIFS | |
20 | requests. | |
21 | ||
22 | If the AFS Client Service becomes unresponsive to any form of | |
23 | communication there may be a serious error that can only be diagnosed | |
24 | by someone with access to the source code and a debugger. The "fs | |
25 | minidump" command can be used to force the generation of a MiniDump | |
26 | file containing the state of all of the threads in the AFS Client | |
27 | Service process. | |
28 | ||
29 | The "MiniDumpType" registry value can be used to adjust the scope of the | |
30 | process information included within the dump file. | |
31 | ||
32 | In a standard install the default location for the dump file is %windir%\temp. | |
33 | ||
34 | =head1 CAUTIONS | |
