Currently the program accepts any device, including non swap devices for dumping. I'm not sure if it will really dump on a non swap partition (I corrected my mistake before a dump occured), but it would certainly be a good idea to add a check to the program that verifies the device that the user enters. Just a thought... Frank >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
