Otherwise, the file system is automatically shared and unshared with the "\fBzfs share\fR" and "\fBzfs unshare\fR" commands.

.SS "Volumes as Swap or Dump Devices"

To set up a swap area, create a \fBZFS\fR volume of a specific size and then enable swap on that device. For more information, see the EXAMPLES section.

During an initial installation or a live upgrade from a \fBUFS\fR file system, a swap device and dump device are created on \fBZFS\fR volumes in the \fBZFS\fR root pool. By default, the swap area size is based on 1/2 the size of physical memory up to 2 Gbytes. The size of the dump device depends on the kernel's requirements at installation time. Separate \fBZFS\fR volumes must be used for the swap area and dump devices. Do not swap to a file on a \fBZFS\fR file system. A \fBZFS\fR swap file configuration is not supported. 

Do not swap to a file on a \fBZFS\fR file system. A \fBZFS\fR swap file configuration is not supported.

If you need to change your swap area or dump device after the system is installed or upgraded, use the \fBswap\fR(1M) and \fBdumpadm\fR(1M) commands. If you need to change the size of your swap area or dump device, see the \fISolaris ZFS Administration Guide\fR.
