How to set up dumpfs ?

Hallo,

is there any readme or explanation how I have to set up dumpfs ?

1.) What is file os2dump.hd good for ? Is this supposed to replace os2dump in the root directory ? If yes, will it work on LVM enabled systems ? Will it work on NON-LVM enabled systems ?
2.) Does the dump partition still have to be FAT16 ?
3.) Does it have to be named SADUMP ?
4.) Can it start whereever it wants or does it have to be entirely below the 8 GB limit (or any other limit) ?
5.) Not directly related: does anyone know of a simple way to reduce a partition to make room for a dump partition ?


Thanks for any help,

Lars
