Here:

dragon# fdisk -l /dev/hda | grep hda2
/dev/hda2            10       219   1686825   82  Linux swap
dragon# mkswap -v1 -v -c /dev/hda2
mkswap: warning: truncating swap area to 130752kB
Setting up swapspace version 0, size = 133885952 bytes

1.6GB partition, mkswap truncating to 128Mb.

This is with kernel 2.4.18, debian/sid, util-linux (where I think
mkswap comes from) version 2.11n-4.

Cause swap should be 1.6*total RAM, of course! (:
