Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just noticed that my swap device is "/dev/wd0s1b", as opposed to "/dev/rwd0s1b". I thought swap devices under UNIX generally used the character-special as opposed to the block-special device file? Am I mistaken, or does FreeBSD just do things differently?
