Swap is by definition not a mounted partition, so nothing happens.

Obviously, if you do pull the CARD with swap on it you get an instant crash.
I wanted to know for me (using swap file on vfat partition).
Even I may use lazy umount to make the partition unreadable to N900, I do not get USB mass mode available. So I need modified osso-mmc-umount (removing loop devices) to get the partition really accesible and mass storage mode available.
So I assumed same as reinob, that removing back cover will also work.
BUT, indeed I do get an instant crash.

So, Estel, here is one occurance.
Maybe I do need the magnet glued? But hey, I do know not to do so (and I will never throw it to the floor, so the back cover will spring open)
