So I have now installed fuse-ntfs-3g, mounted the win partition rw
with uid=0, then:

-bash-4.2# swapctl -a /mnt/win7/pagefile.sys
swapctl: WARNING: /mnt/win7/pagefile.sys is readable by the world
swapctl: WARNING: /mnt/win7/pagefile.sys is writable by the world

Still complaining, however:

-bash-4.2# swapctl -s
total: 2054448 blocks allocated = 0 blocks used, 2054448 blocks available

and:

-bash-4.2# cat /proc/meminfo
        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers: cached:
Mem:  2028154880 731725824 1296429056        0 154378240 584462336

SwapTotal:  2054448 kB
SwapFree:   2054448 kB

Does it mean the swap file is actually working?
