Swap priority in Debian

Hi, I am a Debian testing user. Recently I am experiencing freezing on my Debian system intermittently and during troubleshooting the same, I found out that the I have a swap partition with priority set to -2. But according to the below manpage: https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/mount/swap

Ahh, the problem was the "allow-hotplug" that my interface acquired...  though it's weird that even stopping dhclient and the network daemon didn't stop the interface from bouncing back up (with a DHCP address).  Is there some other daemon I'm unaware of?  (I was experimenting with a fresh Stre

DHCP to static without reboot?
