Title:
  Important typo in "How do I add a swap file?" instructions

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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
