* md.c
* This code manages relations that reside on magnetic disk.
*
+ * Or at least, that was what the Berkeley folk had in mind when they named
+ * this file. In reality, what this code provides is an interface from
+ * the smgr API to Unix-like filesystem APIs, so it will work with any type
+ * of device for which the operating system provides filesystem support.
+ * It doesn't matter whether the bits are on spinning rust or some other
+ * storage technology.
