I don't know exactly how to do it since I've never had the need, but I know that you can specify a different disk or partition for the swap files.

Usually this happens because it formerly pointed to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
