Hey folks,
It looks like we may need to rethink the way swap is mounted at boot time
if we want crashdumps to work.
I question the wizdom of what you're describing. If swap space needs to be made available for fsck to run, then what happens to the crashdump data that used to be on the swap partition? Doing a swapon(8) means that nothing in the swap partition is reliable or consistent anymore.

Yes, I have seen this too. Sep 2 02:16:30 darkstar savecore: /dev/da0s1b: Operation not permitted Sep 2 02:16:30 darkstar savecore: no dumps found
Is fsck really that memory heavy so that it needs swap? Wouldn't fsck -> mount -> savecore -> swapon be a more appropriate order?
