我们知道 CPU 计算与数据的存储都会使用到内存,使用内存可以大大减少从磁盘读取的时间,但是当物理内存不足时,就需要暂时将用不到的程序和数据挪到内存交换空间(swap)
作法:
1.创建分区(fdisk ,文件)
2.格式化为 swap
3.启动
4.查看
举例
[root@bogon ~]# fdisk /dev/sda
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2610.
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!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: 设备或资源忙.
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks.
part[root@bogon ~]# partprobe
这里需要在进行设置下 system ID
语法:mkswap 设备名称
举例
[root@bogon ~]# mkswap /dev/sda6
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 518156 kB
语法:swapon [-s]设备名称
swapoff 设备名称
选项与参数:
-s:查看所有 swap 文件系统
举例1:启动 swap
[root@bogon ~]# swapon /dev/sda6
举例2:查看所有 swap
[root@bogon ~]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda5 partition 1020088 0 -1
/dev/sda6 partition 506008 0 -2
语法:free
举例
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2074972 1380996 693976 0 106740 1000288
-/+ buffers/cache: 273968 1801004
Swap: 1526096 0 1526096
可以看到 Swap 空间增加1526096
