"About dump:  Unless you have r151008 or later, you can only use a zvol on a mirror or single-disk pool.  Having said that:

zfs create -V <size> newpool/dump
dumpadm -d /dev/zvol/newpool/dump

And for swap (which should be good regardless what "newpool" is...):

zfs create -V <size> newpool/swap
swap -a /dev/zvol/newpool/swap
swap -d /dev/zvol/oldpool/swap"








This all worked fine, but "swap -a /dev/zvol/newpool/swap" doesn't persist across reboots...I checked the swap(1M), but can't find anything that suggest how to handle that.

Any advices?

Hope this helps,
