Sorry to put you straight with such an obscure dump device
I think this may actually be a deliberate omission from the manpage. I haven't tried it on ZFS for a long time. The original Solaris Express bug for this was written in early 2004. Was it even fixed to allow a zvol to be used?
Also for reasons of being pedantic for others reading this thread, I will add a note. It appears you are using either OpenSolaris or a Nevada built. Technically neither of these is Solaris despite using SunOS 5.11 at their core. Features and functions from these are not necessarily ever going to be seen in Solaris proper, though usually they will; equally not all of the Solaris features will always be in these product.
