+.SH NAME
+drum \- paging device
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This file is the paging and swapping device.
+It usually refers to an indirect driver
+that allows swapping to be spread over several disk drives.
+.SH FILES
+.F /dev/drum
+.SH BUGS
+The indirect driver divides the swap area into interleaved sections
+of half a megabyte or so;
+reads may not span the boundary between sections.
+Since the system doesn't allocate blocks across sections,
+this probably doesn't matter.
