Hi, 

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I guess this topic will be bounced 
into the right direction from here.

With ZFS using as much physical memory as it can get, dumps and livedumps via 
'savecore -L' are huge in size. I just tested it on my workstation and got a 
1.8G vmcore file, when dumping only kernel pages. 

Might it be possible to add an extension that would make it possible, to 
support dumping without the whole ZFS cache? I guess this would make kernel 
live dumps smaller again, as they used to be...

Any comments?

Cheers,
Tom
