I'd insert it after the second line with an fstab ** entry, and right before the 'Note: Also, the MFS...' line. */ Another useful property of the MFS filesystem is that it allows you to mount your swap area into your filesystem, for example, again, on /tmp. If you wish to combine swap and /tmp in the example given above, put the following two lines in your fstab: /dev/wd1s2b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd1s2b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 Combining swap and /tmp can be dangerous. If your /tmp is full you are also out of swapspace. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: X-send-pr-version: 3.2
