If so great, I'd rather see that be the default for new installs. Seeing as though currently new installs go out of their way to create a separate dump device, I tend to think that ZFS can't support that now.

Maybe that should be reconsidered, now that OpenSolaris is being targeted at least as much ifnot more at the home/hobbiest/developer segment as it is the Enterprise. For those uses there may actually be cases where not collecting dumps is perfectly acceptable and should be allowed. -Kyle _______________________________________________ opensolaris-arc mailing list [email protected]
