Hello!

What's significant about mounting mfs's on the same partition as
a system swap partition?   The mount_mfs(8) man page hints that this
partition is used for any spillover, but that doesn't make sense.  Why
isolate it to a specific swap partition?  

And can you make an mfs that's attached to a different partition? 

Thanks for any info.
