linux交换分区的文件格式为,LINUX的交换分区或交换文件SWAP的查看与维护

1.查看SWAP

[root@rose /]# cat /proc/swaps

Filename Type Size Used Priority

/dev/sdb1 partition 2096440 8 -1

/tmp/swap file 65520 0 -3

2.通过DD创建

boot etc initrd lost+found misc opt root selinux sys test1 usr

[root@rose /]# dd if=/dev/zero f=/tmp/swap bs=4k count=16382

读入了 16382+0 个块

输出了 16382+0 个块

[root@rose /]# mkswap /tmp/swap

Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 67096 kB

[root@rose /]# free

LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2

LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2

LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2

LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

LABEL=SWAP swap swap defaults 0 0

/home/swap swap swap defaults 0 0

3.直接再加一棵硬盘，并且将其中某个扇区规划为 swap 的 filesystem

[root@rose /]# fdisk /dev/sdc

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1044.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

The partition table has been altered!

The kernel still uses the old table.

The new table will be used at the next reboot.
