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,

John Rutherford
