However, I'm having problems getting it to work. I created the slice and partition via /stand/sysinstall. # grep dumpdev /etc/rc.conf dumpdev="/dev/ad0s1b" # swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/ad0s1b 262016 0 262016 0% Interleaved # sysctl kern.dumpdev kern.dumpdev: # dumpon -v /dev/ad0s1b dumpon: sysctl: kern.dumpdev: No space left on device # I've had a look through the handbook, google, archives, etc, and haven't been able to find anything that would point out what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? TIA! - Nick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
