only that traditionally it seems the first swap partition has not been listed in fstab. swapon(8) even added a note about this. i don;t know whether it makes sense to remove that note, or somehow word it differently. or maybe it makes no odds... notice that in fstab(5) we went to great lengths to not list a /dev/sd0b. however an mfs entry was added. jmc
