Hi
For people who are intersting to it, the dump modules
is now checking that it is a swap device before
configuring it. So it remove the risk to dump
to a file system. It check for the swap magic
"SWAP-SPACE" (v0) or "SWAPSPACE2" (v1). The
partition is not necessary an active one,
it should only be created by mkswap (so no
file system on it).
Cheers.

Hi Bruno,
I just recover my b2k test system (even I quiet sure to find from place
to place some files corrupted by its crash) and I would so now find some
free time to test your last patch if you would still submit it to me.
Regards,
Joel
