Is there any reason you would want multiple swap spaces on a [NAS] data
drive?

Suppose you have a partition for 'workspace' plus just general data. You
have another partition for multimedia (mm), which you want to be able to
stream. You could even extend the scenario to include a third partition
for a website. You want them all separate due to accessibility issues
(you don't want your family accessing your data/workspace, but mm OK for
some, while website accessibility is OK for others. Would you want (or
even NEED) a separate swap space for each of those 2-3 'primary-purpose'
partitions?

Thoughts?.....

Thx,
-Rich.
