Kevin Loch:

In solaris:
If foo is a 1G *filesystem* then:

mkfile 768m /foo/swapfile
swap -a /foo/swapfile

would give you an additional 768 MB of virtual memory

Roughly the same would work in Linux. The problem is to
format and mount the partition.

Play well,

Jacob

(...) You can do it this way: dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=768000 mkswap -v1 swapfile sync swapon swapfile Note that on a 2.0 series kernel, the max size of a swap space is 128M. You'll need something 2.2 or so. (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
