As the question says.
If there's a system error, a dump is usually automatic. But in my case the boot device is small, RAM is > 100GB and as a result dump is being disabled on startup. I really don't want to permanently lose 128-256 GB of data space on the off-chance I'll need a panic dump some time. But if I do need it, I'll regret not having it :)
On Windows (which I'm more familiar with) there are options to handle this - you can specify to output the entire RAM, or about 4 smaller sizings down to down to kernel only.
Is there a way to do this for the NAS, so that if a panic occurs I can still get something helpful in say 10 - 20GB of swap, and not need to allocate 128/256 GB for it? If not, is there a way in the GUI to create a suitable swap space on a spare disk (NOT on all data disks!) so that the OS can detect it and use it for dump?
