freebsd/sbin/dumpon/Makefile
Poul-Henning Kamp 9e9c1cad4c Here follows the new kernel dumping infrastructure.
Caveats:

The new savecore program is not complete in the sense that it emulates
enough of the old savecores features to do the job, but implements none
of the options yet.

I would appreciate if a userland hacker could help me out getting savecore
to do what we want it to do from a users point of view, compression,
email-notification, space reservation etc etc.  (send me email if
you are interested).

Currently, savecore will scan all devices marked as "swap" or "dump" in
/etc/fstab _or_ any devices specified on the command-line.

All architectures but i386 lack an implementation of dumpsys(), but
looking at the i386 version it should be trivial for anybody familiar
with the platform(s) to provide this function.

Documentation is quite sparse at this time, more to come.

Details:

Dumpon now opens the device and uses ioctl(DIOCGKERNELDUMP) to set it
to be the dumpdevice.  When "off" is set, /dev/null is used.
