Hi Daniel,

Just a stupid question, as I have done something different. Can't you use a 
different device or slice for the dump? In that case there is no limitation 
on the size of the dump device, as far as I know.

My setup: 96GB, dump device local 160G disc, slice for swap, slice for 
dump, system boots from nanobsd usb-stick. All other disk ZFS filesystems 
using LSI HBA for NFS and Samba clients.
