Well, to be honest, how do you suppose dumping core to a software raid
should work in a situation where the software has crashed? :-)

Why not just use your swap partition as dumpdev?

For example?
When ZFS is started, it initializes the swap and core dump data will be 
erased, not having to perform savecore?

Approximately the same way you suppose dumping core on a block device
should work when the device driver has crashed !

At the moment I have root on UFS and freebsd-swap considering to move
both under ZFS. Is inability to dump to ZFS something I should be
concerned about?

I'm running (Free)PC_BSD 9.0 on x86_64 with 8GB and machine serves for
desktop usage.


Sincerely,
Gour

 How to obtain crash dump, so he kept on zfs?
 Is it enough for it to correct /etc/rc.d/zfs, adding:
 # BEFORE: dumpon ?

Why not just use your swap partition as dumpdev?
