Dumps are stored to the "dump device", which is the swap partition on
the system disk - and that has the consequence that dumps never are
stored to swap files, right?
Is there a deliberate thought here that a cra

Hello,
Is there a way to change the dump device without rebuilding the kernel?
That's not clear if "config(8) -e" is able to do this.
Thanks, regards.

Since you are running Root on RAID, how are you managing your swap space?
Do you have a dump device assigned?

"file not found." raid1b is an unacceptable keyword for kernel config.

Could you clarify what you mean? I have a raid1b partition markes as
swap, and a wd0b partition marked as swap, and I have not figured out how
to get a dump device assigned, so far, unless I use "swap on wd0b" -- which
is unmirrored. I have no problem

then I do get an unmirrored partition as my swap_device, and it is also a
dump device. But ... adding /dev/raid1b doesn't work -- adding this device
