  Hi gang,

	Okay, I have downloaded 4.2, from January 10 or so. I have
  a ~1.7GB swap defined on da0s1b. When I attempt to mount it,
  however, I am told:

exceeded maximum of 3355443 blocks per swap unit

	Hmmm. I can't find anything about this in the archives, nor am
  I able to:

	swapon /dev/da3s1b

   which was my old swap (1GB) space on a different disk.

	Now, you might argue that 1.7GB of swap is a bit excessive, and
   it probably is, but hey, so what? I have had up to 600MB of that
   space allocated previously (GIMP is hungry!), so I figured I would
   bump that with when I added another disk.

	I am concerned, however, as to why I can't mount my previous
   swap area on a different disk. Has something changed to limit the
   swap space you can create?
