The following reply was made to PR kern/163130; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Dan Pritts <danno@internet2.edu> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, danno@internet2.edu Cc: Subject: Re: kern/163130: [mpt] cannot dumpon to mpt connected disk Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:28:52 -0500 Hi, I remember responding to this but I must have not hit "send" or something Your diagnosis was correct, we had the wrong partition type set. However, this requirement is not listed in the dumpon man page. It is implied in the "implementation notes"; "use one of the system swap devices". But I had successfully configured the partition in question as a swap device, so it seemed like I'd satisfied that requirement. It makes good sense to enforce this restriction. It'da be great to also have it spelled out explicitly in the man page. thanks danno -- Dan Pritts, Sr. Systems Engineer Internet2 office: +1-734-352-4953 | mobile: +1-734-834-7224
