Maybe.

The mfs backing process won't get swapped out? Would these data hanging
around in swap be too risky?

If we're worrying about a file coming back because the machine dies before
we can overwrite on-disk data, we are entering a high-paranoia realm.
There are LOTS of things we need to think about in such a space, and a lot
of precautions we should take. :-)

Take care,
