I can give you a reason. That is during an install SuSE spots a swap space on a USB HD it will try to use it. Look in /etc/fstab to prove it. If you disconnect/remove the device - at the next boot time you will get an error - a red "Fail".
Not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you suggesting that if you delete the device node from /dev you won't get an error? I beg to differ
Not a /dev/file but a /etc/fstab entry
In other words you didn't read what you replied to. Let me quote it for you again.
If you delete the file from /dev it wouldn't. But why would you do that?
To which you replied
I can give you a reason.
But since you were talking about something completely different, you didn't. There are reasons why you at times would want to delete items from fstab, yes
