- How does the next maintain swap files? There is no entry in fstab for it
- (or for my second hard drive, and internal 105 quantum). There is an entry
- for my boot drive. I am assuming that the internal drive is mounted
- automatically by a non-standard method. I have seen the swapfile in
- /private/vm, and have wondered if it is possible to either physically
- relocate it to the internal drive or to use a symbolic link instead.
-
- I would also like to override whatever automounting is taking place
- and make sure that on boot up the internal (non-boot drive) is mounted
- automatically.
-
- Can I manage the disks without using nextstep utilities?
-
- Thanks,
-
