Because of the disk layout (/ is to small):

churro:/srv# ls -l /srv/swapfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4294967296 Aug 11 12:37 /srv/swapfile

churro:/srv# cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type            Size    Used 
Priority
/dev/sda2                               partition       979956  1340    -1
/srv/swapfile                           file            4194296 0       -2
