Operating Systems Solaris How can I create a new swap location in ZFS? Post 302277640 by jlliagre on Saturday 17th of January 2009 04:32:49 AM

You cannot use a swap device as a dump device on ZFS. Is "/dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/swap was dump device --" really a message you got from running the swap command ?

How much RAM is installed ? Reducing the dump device size from 8 to 1 GB might prevent a crash dump to complete.

If your swap is in use and no other swap area can pick the stored pages, you cannot remove a swap area.

What exactly are you trying to reproduce with your settings ? kernel panics ?
