- After reading swapon(8), i have to say the man-page's a bit unprecise about
- that point, but i also think you don't really need the 'swapon -a' if you
- use only one (default) swapping partition. It seems to me the swapon is
- mainly in there for people who want to have more than one swap or swap on
- another disk then root. After all, 'swapon -a' doesn't seem to hurt. :)
