Hmm.. Don't think it's a "not set" value - if you add two swap partitions,
this happends:

Adding Swap: 51192k swap-space (priority -1)
Adding Swap: 51192k swap-space (priority -2)

This sounds like it will use up one partition before it starts on the
other, which defeats my purpose of having two swap partitions: parallel
use of two disks (one partition is on sda, the other on sdb).

Is this true?
