Hello FreeBSD team,
i found a little problem in the documentation.
On https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/adding-swap-space.html, in
Example 12.2. in the 4th point you list the command 'swapon -aq'.
But this just doesn't work.
After some research someone at
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2013-October/046056.html
pointed out that an entry in the /etc/fstab with file= automatically
implies the late option.
So the right command in the docs should be '*swapon -aL*', which mounts
swap entries which have the late option set.
Tested on the latest version of FreeBSD 10.0.
Sincerely,
Michael Koch
PS: I love FreeBSD, great work.
