I don't know why, but this partition only had around 37Mb free. So, instead, I set the file to <code>/share/hdd/data/swapfile1</code>, which is working now. Don't forget the mkswap command, as it fails without it! And, luckily, it was much faster using <code>dd</code> in this location. It's possible that <code>/mnt</code> was pointed at the flash drive, or something else. I wasn’t able to create the file as 256Mb in /mnt, as there wasn’t enough space.
