work, because LU wants to create both swap & dump ZFS filesystems in there too, my machine has 16Gb of memory and the slice is 8Gb - so there isn't enough space & LU throws a cog. Which is why I wanted to get it to use the old swap partition in

I'm upgrading my B92 UFS-boot system to ZFS root using Live Upgrade. It appears to work fine so far, but I'm wondering why it allocates a ZFS filesystem for swap when I already have a dedicated swap slice. Shouldn't it just use any existing swap slice rather than creating a ZFS
