Gavin, you know who Andrew Morton is, yes? His opinion on the subject:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/7/326
Don't know about you, but I think I'll trust Morton's opinion on this
more than the writer of the mkswap man page. BTW, the similarities
between what I wrote earlier and Morton's comments in the lkml thread
above are not coincidental. ;)
