If the partition is a linux swap partition, it will reckognize this and mark
the linux swap markup as "bad" to prevent destruction of the swap format
info. To prevent this, clear the partition with zeros or give other options
in servers.boot.

The "free" equivalent is "vmstat", "vminfo" for processes.
