Hi there,

When I partitioned my HD many moons ago, I didn't plan ahead and so now I
routinely don't have enough swap space.  BUT to get by, every so often I
create a big file and transform it into swap space via vnconfig.  

Normally I just use the one swapfile, but today I had a special situation
where suddenly that wasn't going to cut it, so I made another swapfile,
uttered the sacred words:

	vnconfig -e /dev/vn1c /usr/swapfile2 swap

(Oh yea had to sh ./MAKEDEV vn1 in /dev prior to this.)

But anyway, to verify everything's really working, I do this:

lambic:~ [13]->swapinfo -k
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/sd0s2b     65536    59560     5912    91%    Interleaved
/dev/vn0c       65536    59648     5824    91%    Interleaved
/dev/??         65536     4892    60580     7%    Interleaved
Total          196416   124100    72316    63%


Whoa!  What's that "/dev/??" about?  I perused the source for a minute
until I realized that for me to puzzle this out will be a research
project.

2.2-BETA as of sometime this last week.

Brian
