    No. The dump is a two-stage process.

    When the system panics, it simply drops memory into the dump volume.
    (Traditionally, it used to use the swap partition.)

    Then, when the system is back up, you save that dump into regular files
    for subsequent analysis.

    If you're really tight for space, and aren't worried about debugging a
    panic, then
    disabling dumps entirely (dupadm -d none) might be appropriate in this case.

    (As an aside, I note that current OmniOS LTS - r151014 - doesn't understand
    dumpadm -e, which is a shame.)
