*Several* disks...?  I only ever see the first 2 used...  :>

# swapon -s
Filename                        Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 partition    248968  195904  -1
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1 partition  1034216  320248  -2
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2 partition    130748       0  -3
