            Bug ID: 247618
           Summary: /etc/rc.d/savecore doesn't work if dumpdev is a GEOM
                    name
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: asomers@FreeBSD.org

If in /etc/rc.conf you specify dumpdev as "auto" or an absolute path like
"/dev/label/dump0", then everything is fine.  But if you specify it as a ge=
om
name like "label/dump0", then /etc/rc.d/savecore won't be able to find it. =
 The
problem is not immediately apparent because /etc/rc.d/dumpon _does_ accept
dumpdev in that format (added by smh in r291207).

I see two possible good solutions:
1) Modify /etc/rc.d/savecore to check "savecore -C /dev/${dev}" if "savecor=
e -C
${dev}" fails.
2) Modify /etc/rc.d/savecore to check for /dev/dumpdev even if dumpdev is n=
ot
set to "auto"
