Yes, me (please excuse the long line at the bottom):
[/homes/wpaul]:marple{46}% uname -smr
FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386
[/homes/wpaul]:marple{47}% df /tmp
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
mfs:20 23583 4 21693 0% /tmp
[/homes/wpaul]:marple{48}% ps -auxww | grep mfs
root 20 0.0 9.7 24920 628 ?? Is 1:26PM 0:00.26 mfs /dev/wd0b /tmp (mount_mfs)
[/homes/wpaul]:marple{49}% grep mfs /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0b /tmp mfs rw 0 0
/dev/wd0b is my swap device.
