During installation, the installation created default ZFS filesystems, like the dump and swap locations.
I want to change the blocksize of the /dump and /swap locations
I want to change the volume size so I can recreate a customer environment.

zpool history -il | grep dump
2009-01-07.01:20:03 zfs create -b 131072 -V 8191m rpool/dump [user root on opensolaris:global]
2009-01-15.17:00:19 zfs destroy rpool/dump [user root on opensolaris:global]
2009-01-15.17:00:36 zfs create -b 131072 -V 1024m rpool/dump [user root on opensolaris:global]


The original dump location was a bit bigger than what I set it to.

Sorry about my bad investigation, I was going by this info:

Thanx, I'll try it.
