That makes sense. So, we need to initialize the file, change permissions, and use the correct partition type.

I think we should also use a physical disk partition type of 82 for Linux swap.

Hmm, looks like the permissions on the swapfile are the issue here. I'd go with option A - initialize the file with mkswap.
