Matt,
- swap / dump on slices and zvols.
Since both swap and dump are considered attributes of a slice or
zvol, they should be simple boolean true|false in the schema. I
would also like to propose removing the concept of a "no_swap" and
"no_dump" attribute. If a user decides not to mark a slice or zvol
as swap, the clients are responsible for determining what is needed
and will create zvols or slices as appropriate. Same goes for zvol
dump devices.
Drew, so how would a user specify they specifically don't want swap or
dump zvols created ?
If you don't mark a vdev as swap or dump, the installer will by
default attempt to create swap and dump zvols, so not specifying them
does not mean "do not create".
Would it make sense to add a simple, empty element called <noswap> or
<nodump> as a child element to <target>?
<!ELEMENT target (disk+, logical*, noswap?, nodump?)>
<!ELEMENT noswap EMPTY>
<!ELEMENT nodump EMPTY>
That way the user can control is a slice/zvol is meant for swap
(is_swap) or dump (is_dump) and if the user explicitly wants neither
created, an empty <noswap /> element can be created.
What do you think?
-Drew
