DESCRIPTION
mount_swapfs
is a command invoked by
mount(8)
to mount the swapfs filesystem. The swapfs filesystem is used for optimizing swap performance and disk usage.
mount_swapfs
is not intended to be launched directly. Instead, you can invoke this command through
mount(8)
by using the "-t swapfs" option.
backfile
is the name of the backing store which the swapfs filesystem will write into.
frontfile
is the name of the mount point where the swapfs filesystem will be mounted. The swapfs only contains one file, and it will appear at the named mount point.
swapfs
is literally the characters in "swapfs".
opts
are the mount options passed from
mount(8).
They are ignored by
mount_swapfs.
SEE ALSO
mount(8), mach_swapon(8)
BUGS
frontfile
must not exist before mounting.
