--- Comment #8 from Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.org> ---
I suggest we discontinue the shared dump/swap device support.

It made sense back when disk partitions where a limited resources and disks and
main memory were closer in size (and cost a fortune).

These days, in particular with mini-dumps, it makes absolutely no sense.
