OK another crash today and the machine did reboot but still nothing in 
/data/crash


[mikej@charon ~]$ gpart list ada2

[mikej@charon ~]$ ls /dev/ada2
ada2     ada2s1   ada2s1a  ada2s1b
[mikej@charon ~]$ ls /dev/ada2

I simply must just not understand something that is fundamental here.

If I get this right swap is a slice ada2s1b, not a partition which
should be fine for core dumps right?  On reboot dumps to swap are not
being wrote to /data/dump!

If UFS is dirty and auto-fsck runs - is this an issue?

I obviously don't get something. Please someone enlighten me ;-)
