I am running 11-STABLE, and I am experiencing kernel panics when I am

However, I am finding that my permanently glabel'ed disk partition cannot be 
used as dumpdev. Is that true, and why not? I mean, swap can use it just fine. 
I am unable to find this restriction in the documentation.


# grep swap /etc/fstab

# glabel status | grep boot

dumpon: ioctl(DIOCSKERNELDUMP): Operation not supported by device
That's not about label but underlying device that seems to be GEOM_PART_MBR
and it allows kernel dumps only if slice (MBR partition) type is 0xa5 for 
"freebsd"
or 0x82 ("linux swap"). Please show output of the command "gpart show ada4".



I do have "freebsd" (0xa5) type configured on the MBR partition.
# gpart show ada4
=>       63  937703025  ada4  MBR  (447G)
         63  937703025     1  freebsd  [active]  (447G)

# gpart show -r ada4
=>       63  937703025  ada4  MBR  (447G)
         63  937703025     1  165  [active]  (447G)
