Think about a scenario where the swap area is actually a file stored inside formatted partition (let's say ext2). Thus, it will first generate filesystem operation, right?
Do linux systems have swap files?? Isn't swap space provided (only) by the swap partition? I am assuming that swap partition doesn't have any filesystem. I may be wrong.
