In my case, I have two machines with IDENTICAL hardware, IDENTICAL kernel images, IDENTICAL start scripts, which assign DIFFERENT priorities to their two swap drives - one assigns -1 and -2 whilst the other assigns -2 and -3 and I've no idea why...
Doesn't affect system behaviour though, so I havenae worried about it...
Best wishes from Riley.
