I have just the same in LM8.2. I think it means the kernel does not have
to setup that bridge.

I have: /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
I think it's a difference between 8.1 and 8.2. Swap is not part of the
filesystem (or maybe you should see it as a kind of very specialized filesystem
(see 'man fstab'). It's not mounted but turned on or off (see 'man swapon') :)

'partions' mentions under mountpoint for swap: swap. Note: _no_ preceeding '/' .
I think it's just a bit confusing GUI. 'mount' doesn't show swap on my system.

I have the same, maybe it just means none of the swap space is used?
Try 'top' and 'cat /proc/meminfo' to see swap.
