https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D241070 --- Comment #5 from Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Ravi Pokala from comment #4) I think it's a "known" bug. When dumping we start writing as far into the = dump device as possible (i.e., the end of the dump lines up with the end of the = dump device), and this policy happens to minimize the risk that swapping will overwrite dump data. I'm not sure that we could really reorder the scripts. savecore depends on local filesystems being mounted and clean, and we want dumpon to run as ear= ly as possible. It is also handy to be able to run savecore manually after the system has finished booting. Swapping during boot is also (hopefully) rath= er unusual. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
