Why exactly is the dump lost? Does your system have a dump zvol defined that is used to store system crash dumps? Isn't the kernel crash dump still available on that dump zvol? Swap and dump should use different zvols with opensolaris / zfs root, so that a crash dump is not overwritten when swap space is used. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
