On UFS root filesystems we used to configure the dump device to be the swap device, we only switched because ZFS let you sensibly separate this (this is also why we're able to not run savecore by default. There's nothing that will overwrite the dump on the actual device). You should be able to: 1) Configure the system to dump to the swap device, as it used to 2) Configure savecore to run by default again (so that dumps don't get swapped over). And save the space of the extra dump device. Someone should have to investigate whether there are problems with swapping and dumping to the same zvol, as opposed to physical device. -- Rich _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list oi-dev@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
