    Larry,
      This is a very good concern and point given todays more
    common huge memory foot prints and lots of spindles.  I'll
    keep this in they back of my mind as I tromp around in the
    dump code.  I have another solution that may work for you
    and that is to use Netdump rather than swapdump.  This
    basically eliminates the trip to swap space and you end
    up going to savecore style output on the netdump server.

What does it take for NetDump to work to a FreeNAS (9.10 nightly) server since 
that’s what is “next to” this server?
