Thanks.
Is /dev/ad2s1b the correct location? Possibly you meant ad0s1b or some other adX device? (Common mistake.) Do you have a swap device defined, particularly in /etc/fstab?o What does swapinfo say? Does the same happen if you say dumpdev="auto" or if you remove the -f flag from savecore_flags? It may be worth peeking through /etc/rc.d/dumpon and imitating some of the commands there to see if you can reproduce it. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
