Hi folks,

I've tried to configure my system to mount /tmp in mfs space to improve
performance of things like vi.

The FreeBSD handbook suggests that /etc/fstab ought to look something
like this:

	/dev/wd1s2b	none swap	sw 0 0
	/dev/wd1s2b	/tmp mfs	rw 0 0

Here's how my /etc/fstab looks:

	/dev/wd2s1	none swap	sw 0 0
	/dev/wd2s1	/tmp mfs	rw 0 0

Swap mounts properly, but the mfs mount fails as follows:

mfs: /dev/wd2s1: `1' partition is unavailable

I've done this successfully before with a "clasically" partitioned
disk, and I wonder if my problems don't stem from my using a dedicated
disk for swap?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
