Thank you, Bruno, for pointing out that HowTo. I'm sure it was helpful
for you. But it does not address my dumpdev question at all, and I found
what I think are two possible problems:
1. The author's raid0 disklabel shows partition types of RAID for all of
its underlying data partitions. I would think those should be 4.2BSD,
though it is possible newfs can be run against a partition of a different
type.
2. There is no discussion of inserting raid0b into /etc/fstab in order ot
enable swap space.
Since you are running Root on RAID, how are you managing your swap space?
Do you have a dump device assigned?
