ZFS as a swap area

I am planning to migrate from UFS to ZFS and have a couple of questions:How do you automount a ZFS file system as swap?To avoid me allocating a part of a disk as RAW for our Ingres installation, can Ingres use a ZFS filesystem as a RAW device?

You'd need an entry in the vfstab today.

You cannot use ZFS as a dump target though.

I don't know why it couldn't. That's what zvols are for.

Sorry about the delay got moved onto other things!

I have created a zfs filesystem which lists out thus:

jupiter# zfs list

NAMEUSED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT

pool_one 1.00G 15.5G 24.5K legacy

pool_one/SWAP 22.5K 16.5G 22.5K -

I put an entry into the vfstab that looks like this:

pool_one/SWAP--swap-no-

But it fails to mount, any clues as to what I have got wrong here?
