Creating a Swap File
Creating a Swap File
At a shell prompt as root, type the following command with count being equal to the desired block size:
64 MB swap file is 65536
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1024 count=65536
Setup the swap file with the command:
mkswap /swap
To enable the swap file immediately but not automatically at boot time:
swapon /swap
