I've generated swapfiles on both the USB and HDD of varying sizes from 128Mbit to 1Gbit and tried various entries in fstab. On boot, the system generates a new entry in fstab for a swap on /dev/mmcblk0p7 and uses that by default.

Is there a way of stopping the system generating a new entry for the swap in fstab or giving the /media/usb/swapfile a higher priority and is it worth increasing the swappiness? Be gentle, I'm a Linux novice
What does swapmanager show in vix plugin…… if they are named swap###### should find them
