RE: no dump on a gmirror ?

Hello,

I have recently converted a machine to a full gmirror configuration
(as explained on http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ : everything,
including swap, is mirrored).

The dump device is configured as AUTO from /etc/defaults/rc.conf and
the kernel complains when booting that "No suitable dump device was
found".

Is this to be expected ? (I do not find any hint in gmirror(8) or
dumpon(8))

Yes, unfortunately.

I wish someone would change it, as if I get a system panic, I'll
not be able to help fix it.
