Make a separate directory in /mnt/us/ called swap:

mkdir /mnt/us/swap
cd /mnt/us/swap

Make a new swap file:

dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=128
mkswap swapfile

Turn the file into a block device:

losetup /dev/swap /mnt/us/swap/swapfile

I made some scripts in /mnt/us/swap/ for easy swapping on/off:
swapon.sh

Spoiler:

mknod /dev/swap b 7 8
losetup /dev/swap /mnt/us/swap/swapfile
swapon /dev/swap

swapoff.sh

Spoiler:

swappoff /dev/swap #You don't really need a script for this, but I'm lazy

Swap on...swap off Sounds like wax on, wax off from the original Karate Kid, if you know what I'm talking about

I do exactly this save for one thing

losetup /dev/swap /mnt/base-us/swap/swapfile

I run mine via base-us.

Unsure if this has any impact but the other way occasionally locked up.
(possibly the whole Fuse file proxy thing again)

Thought I would share...
