> Sets up a Linux swap area on a device or in a file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Setup a given partition as swap area:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`sudo mkswap {{/dev/sdb7}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Use a given file as swap area:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`sudo mkswap {{path/to/file}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Check a partition for bad blocks before creating the swap area:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`sudo mkswap -c {{/dev/sdb7}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Specify a label for the file (to allow `swapon` to use the label):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`sudo mkswap -L {{swap1}} {{path/to/file}}`
