Well, it is  a file-system. It is  to be mounted on  boot. /etc/fstab is

That's my swap  device. I used /dev/null with an  explicit size argument
in the past too.  My understanding was, that this gives  MFS a chance to
structure  the filesystem  (block sizes,  etc.) the  way the  underlying
device is structured to, possibly, gain some performance advantage.
