SubjectDoes linux locks swap file?
DateSun, 19 Jan 1997 16:13:40 +0300

	Hello.

	If I've understood sys_swapon() correctly, there is no increment 
of inode's usage counter if swapping goes to regular file. If this 
assumption is correct, it is definitely a bug. If it is wrong, please 
tell me why :)

	This was inspired by report of someone who was able to crash 
system just by removing active swap file.

	Best regards, -- Boris.
