I've repartioned my swap drive, creating a traditional partition of type 165 instead of using the "dangerously dedicated" method. This means my fstab now looks like this: > /dev/wd2s1b none swap sw 0 0 > /dev/wd2s1b /tmp mfs rw 0 0 Now mount_mfs succeeds. Is there a technical issue preventing mount_mfs from working when swap space is on a "dangerously dedicated" drive, or is this simply a problem with mount_mfs? Thanks, Sheldon.
