swap will not be in use by the time it gets to the point of being =
unconfigured

halt and reboot are commands used by shutdown. You should use
# shutdown -h now
OR
# shutdown -r now

running shutdown gives the opportunity for some processes to be shutdown =
cleanly/correctly

That seems to have done the trick, yes... what happens if swap is
in use?  Will it refuse to delete the swap device?  Are there any
plans to do this automatically so that halt/reboot will also work?
