The dumpadm command can be used to manage dump devices. The key is that today, you can't use ZFS for a dump device. So if you want to collect dumps, you'll need to use a non-ZFS device to do so. For many people, the historic use is a swap device on slice 1 which is also the default dump device. So yes, this will work, but no it is not a requirement. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
