Linux添加swap分区的方法介绍

建立一个普通的Linux分区（主分区、逻辑分区均可）

fdisk /dev/sdb

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sdb: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders, total 16777216 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0x740e36e3

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sdb1 63 4194367 2097152+ 83 Linux

/dev/sdb2 4194368 16777215 6291424 5 Extended

/dev/sdb5 4194431 8388735 2097152+ 83 Linux

/dev/sdb6 8388799 16777215 4194208+ 83 Linux

以sdb6为例，可以看到分区的十六进制编码是83，即普通的Linux分区。

修改分区类型的十六进制编码

//t命令：改写分区十六进制编码

Command (m for help): t

Partition number (1-6): 6

//L命令可以查看不同分区的十六进制编码，交换分区为82

Hex code (type L to list codes): 82

Changed system type of partition 6 to 82 (Linux swap / Solaris)

Command (m for help): p

//分区表写入磁盘并退出

Command (m for help): w

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

Syncing disks.

格式化交换分区

mkswap /dev/sdb6

Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 4194204 KiB

no label, UUID=40eff2c0-3f6b-440e-bc2a-f71d3d5581a7

启用交换分区

swapon /dev/sdb6

查看交换分区加载状态

free

total used free shared buffers cached

Mem: 1030108 160768 869340 264 12040 56188

-/+ buffers/cache: 92540 937568

Swap: 6291352 0 6291352

停用交换分区

swapoff /dev/sdb6

p.s.

不能直接使用mount命令挂载swap分区，因为swap分区是没有挂载点的。

直接修改/etc/fstab配置文件，使系统启动时自动挂载：

/dev/sdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0

//查看交换分区

swapon -s
