Okay, just to confirm, my swap device looks like: venus# pstat -s Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/amrd0s1b 2097024 8708 2088316 0% Interleaved which is just under 2048m, at 2039m instead ... so ... should I sent it down to 2000m even, or ... ? And all I need to do is set 'dumpdev="/dev/amrd0s1b' in /etc/rc.conf ... no other settings I need?
