Hi everybody, I got a couple dump from a W2003 R2 SP2 x64 from the last two weekends and when I open the crash dump by means of WinDBG I alwasy see the "WARNING Dump file has been truncated. Data may be missing". According to this article http://www.dumpanalysis.org/blog/index.php/2007/07/20/crash-dump-analysis-patterns-part-18/, the truncation is due to a small pagefile size, but following the steps detailed in the article I've been able to see (after running the command !vm) that the pagefile size is the same than the physical memory installed in the server. I've also run all the commands from the article and don't get any error. Could anybody tell me why the dump file is truncated?. Thanks in advance.

can you try this solution http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dougste/archive/2009/06/12/this-dump-file-is-partially-corrupt.aspx ?

Hi Edoardo, Thank you for your reply. I've had a look at that article and tha's not my problem. Acutally, I didn't get the message "THIS DUMP FILE IS PARTIALLY CORRUPT", I get the message "WARNING Dump file has been truncated. Data may be missing". In fact, the size of the dump is the same that the size of the Physicall memory installed. I've checked ouit the option "Automatically restart" in the Startup and REcovery options of the server. Thank you.

Does anybody lnow why I'm getting that warning in the dump file?.

Please, your help would be greatly appreciated. I'm still don't know why the dump is showing that message. Thank you.

set pagefile dimension from 1,5 times to 3 times your phisical memory dimension. hthEdoardo Benussi - Microsoft MVP Management Infrastructure - Systems Administration https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/Profile/Benussi Windows Server Italian Forum Moderator edo[at]mvps[dot]org

Hi Eduardi, Thank you. What I don't understand is that when dumpping it says that the dump si complete and the size of the pagefile currently is managed by the operating system, so there shouldn't be any problem with that. On the other hand, could that change affect to the server performance?. Anyway, I'll try to set those parameters and be lucky. Thank you.
