Slightly unrelated note: I think the real solution would be to get rid of
the necessarity to do all this dc magic at all.
I could imagine some /etc/rc.d/* magic (and if needed some dkctl/swapctl
enhancements) that
- check the physical position of the swap-on-raid partition
- do the necessary calculations and create a wedge that maps this
to the first underlying disk device
- use swapctl -D to define this wedge as dump device
But this needs more discussion and thoughts...
