Yep. I also detected this "feature" when trying to write a crash dump for a live running kernel, with savecore -L: 1. swap -d /dev/dsk/c1d0s1 2. dumpadm -d /dev/dsk/c1d0s1 3. savecore -L 4. dumpadm -d swap 5. swap -a /dev/dsk/c1d0s1 dumpadm in step 2. now complains with: dumpadm: /dev/dsk/c1d0s1 is normally mounted on according to /etc/vfstab. Please remove this entry to use this device. I have to edit /etc/vfstab twice, before step 2. and after step 5.
