    Ceri,

    This doesn't obviously have a security angle, so feel free to take it to
    -questions (with CC, please).

    Ok.

    I think it's a bit misleading to say that the "swap partition" is mounted.
    I think it more accurate to say that the storage device which backs this
    filesystem is the system's VM. The filesystem simply provides the
    semantics for the I/O.

    What about this makes you uncomfortable?
