Using a swap file
QuestionHow to use a swap file instead of a swap partition? SolutionThis tip is from http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ . Here I make a short summary. (1) Create a swap file: dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=524288 Here 524288 is the block size (512MB * 1024). (2) Mark it as a swap file: mkswap /swapfile1 (3) Activate it: swapon /swapfile1 (4) Edit the file /swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0 Now it'll be activated after each reboot. (5) Verify if it's used: free -m |
