                      5: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      6: This file is the paging and swapping device.
                      7: It usually refers to an indirect driver
                      8: that allows swapping to be spread over several disk drives.

                     11: .SH BUGS
                     12: The indirect driver divides the swap area into interleaved sections
                     13: of half a megabyte or so;
                     14: reads may not span the boundary between sections.
                     15: Since the system doesn't allocate blocks across sections,
                     16: this probably doesn't matter.
