However, there are valid reasons to do so, e.g.:
      * Resizing the swap partition, or creating a swap RAID
      * Wanting to make sure that some information is not going to get
        swapped to disk, but remains in RAM (to make sure it is mostly
        gone when you power down)
      * (In addition to those, any work on the swap space in a running
        system)
      * Benchmarking some special situation
      * Battery saving
      * Probably others
