0 is always the oldest saved panic file and the highest number is the most recent. If the
system experiences a panic, there are ten existing panics, the oldest is deleted and the
remaining nine are renamed so the newest can be saved as 9.

Size

Displays the size of the panic file in bytes.

Created

Displays the date and time the panic file was created. The panic file is created after the
system reboots, however the panic information within the file contains the date and time the
panic actually occurred.
