Comment:

 same issue seen here:

 * Installed Haiku to a 8GB partition
 * Reboot to find 400MB free
 * Disk usage shows /boot/common/var/swap is 6.9 GB
 * Machine has a little over 3GB ram... so this makes sense as ram * 2
 * Swap preference panel was already disabled.
 * Erased swap file
 * Emptied trash
 * Space still used
 * Rebooted
 * Space still used
 * No swap file present now
 * Ran checkfs on Haiku partition
   * No errors reported, but space drops to a correct level.
