Wait, why 754 MB? Seems random.

I think I need to double-check the steps for ensuring the swap mounts automatically at boot. Did we use `mount -a` after editing `fstab`?

I feel confident about the `mkswap` and `swapon` commands, but I might forget the syntax for editing `/etc/fstab`.

I think I remember using `fdisk` to create partitions, but I'm not entirely sure about the exact commands for adding a swap partition.

This seems similar to a practice question we did on partitioning. I recall needing to set the type to 82 for swap, but I hope I don't mix up the device names.

Hmm, I'm a little confused about how the algorithm works. I'll need to read through it carefully to make sure I understand it before answering.

This is a good one. I feel pretty confident I can solve this by carefully examining the table structure and the logic behind each query option.
