  Thanks.  I read that there was an issue with freebsd swap vs. ZFS swap
for FreeBSD dumping.  Looking at your script, it looks like you're using the
"freebsd-swap" which will allow for crash dumps.  But, not being familiar
with gmirror and what you've done with "gswap", I just wanted to confirm.

  I'll give it a go tomorrow!  Thanks much...
