Mine looks like: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 /dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 /dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
And when you reboot you should see it in top as an increase in swap. The only downside I've found is that piclone doesn't know to ignore it. I put mine at the end of 320 GB, now I can't use piclone for backups to SD anymore. But there's been discussion that swap will wear out an SD fast, they're rated by read/write cyccles.
