swapspace

[Colin Law]

I have installed swapspace [1] on 12.04 from the ubuntu repo, which
should give me a dynamic swapfile.  If I do
sudo service swapspace status
it tells me it is running, and if I tell it to restart it does so
without error.  However System Monitor says that swap is not available
and in top is shows 0 free.  Does anyone know whether that is that as
it should be or is swapspace not working?
