My crashdumps are all working fine, but of course you still have to
not specify your /usr partition as a crashdump location.  Doing that
is bad juju.  Aim gun at foot.  Fire until magazine is empty.  That
kinda bad juju.  Having always specified my swap partitions correctly,
on the other hand, and I've never had a crashdump overwrite anything I
didn't want overwritten.  Not once.  And I take a lot of crashdumps in
my testing, on multiple machines, using the latest -current and
-stable, so I'm inclined to blame the operator over the software in
this series of incidents since I have absolutely no reason to believe
otherwise given the evidence available for examination.
