Using hardcoded paths is bad as stock and upstream kernel issues locations randomly.

First of all: You could add options internal + external / 2 x external and read "swap2" only if 2x external used.
The relocateswap script seems to fail because it can't find 2nd external swap.

Second of all: It's a waste of space for me to have 3 swaps!

btw. I guess my emmc will anyway outlive my N900

/edit: So, sixwheeledbeast, do you still say a definite "no" to users who'd like to use internal + uSD even though it's in general not the best option (but there might be situations when this is still a good option)
