When you add swap partitions to /etc/fstab, remember that without a
“pri=" option, swap partitions listed first will have higher priority
than those listed last. That means that they will be used until full before
the system tries other swap partitions. Giving two swap partitions the same
priority means that the system will use them both simultaneously in a
"round-robin" approach. Looking at the file /proc/swaps will show you such
information about your current swap files.
