WHOA!!! if my memory serves me correctly, the max size of a swap file was
limited at 16Mb,.. however it is possible to have multiple swapfiles
(.: more you can have more than 16 Mb avaiable for swap but not in a continous
block) I may be reading between the lines here as I vaguely remember something
being said about the kernel lying when reporting that 16 Mb was the maximum
available (maybe it was for a raw partition the details ar scetchy and it's
05:50 in the morning while i'm revamping the FAQ)
