--- Comment #2 from Jamie Landeg-Jones <jamie at catflap.org> ---
As you probably know, since your original post, trim before swapon has since
been added:

fstab:

/dev/ada0p1.eli none swap sw,trimonce 0 0

As for dumping to swap, doesn't that negate the purpose of using encrypted swap
in the first place? All someone would need to do is force a panic, and the
memory contents would be dumped in the clear.

P.S. I'm not part of the FreeBSD project, just a random user!
