A volume with the SWAPFS file system is not mounted or unmounted. Rather, swapping is turned on for the volume using the sbin/swapon command and turned off using the <command>sbin/swapoff</command>. EVMS lets you turn swapping on or off for a volume from within EVMS without having to go to a separate terminal session.
As with mounting and unmounting, EVMS performs the swapon and swapoff operations immediately. It does not wait until the changes are saved.
