Actually, that won't be enough. Sorry if I gave that idea. If you check /etc/rc.d/dumpon then you'll see that if the script succeeds in telling the kernel to dump on a given swap partition then it creates the symlink in the /dev directory. I couldn't see any other easy way to check if your kernel had been configured to dump to the swap partition or not. Do you have a dumpdev setting in /etc/rc.conf? Does /etc/fstab list /dev/ada0p2 as a swap partition? Thanks for the configuration info. Gary
