Hi all,

Sorry to bother you with something so trivial, but I've a question regarding
the manual page for swapon(8).

In the BUGS section, it states :

     There is no way to stop paging and swapping on a device.  It is therefore
     not possible to dismount swap devices which are mounted during system
     operation.

Now I could be wrong, but would I be correct in saying that swap devices aren't
actually "mounted" ?

Right, I'm off to the pub.

Ceri
