Public bug reported:

I was very confused why my swap file wasn't working after I followed
instructions at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_do_I_add_a_swap_file.3F

The problem was that the instructions mostly say 1GiB but then also have
a line (which I blindly copied-and-pasted) that said 4GiB instead.

In the section "Example of making a swap file", this line needs to be
fixed:

$ echo '/mnt/4GiB.swap swap swap defaults 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
