>Description:

Following my question on the -questions list
(Subject: Can I combine /tmp and swap) I wrote a short text 
that might be a useful addition to the handbook.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

/*
** This is an addition to the subsection 'option MFS' of the
** section 'Filesystem Options' in the handbook.
**
** Hmmm. 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.
