Hello,
When I run the command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1024 count=8192"
the machine effectively locks up, and I have to physically reset it.
When I reboot and run e2fsck I get the following error:
e2fsck 1.10 .....
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure

etc..
