First of all, I would not call the command mkfs. Better just restrict
the functionality to swap, that can give you some assertions to begin
with.
First just
Tomáš, unfortunately your solution to the swap sharing problem is
suboptimal -- swapping through filesystem code to a file in a VFAT

Interesting. :)
BTW, if one really wants to implement fancy partition manipulation feat
