Correction.  Any single swap partition or swap file cannot exceed 2G.
You can have multiple swap partitions or files to give you the swap
you need.  I have several servers with 8GB of RAM.  To give me the 2x
RAM swap the client wanted (unnecessary, but what are you going to do?)
I used 4 2G swap partitions and 4 2G swap files.

It ain't pretty, but it works.

Depends on what you're doing.  For 99% of the folk out there, that's
true.
