Make Swap File
So you kinda screwed up when you did your partitions and now need more swap. Here's a quick and easy way to use a swap file, which should perform almost as well as a swap partition.
1. Make a big ol' 2G file
dd if=/dev/zero of=/myswapfile bs=2097152 count=1000
2. Tell that file it's a swapfile
mkswp /myswapfile
3. Activate it
swapon /myswapfile
4. Check your work
swapon -s
You should see your myswapfile in there. Want it to be a permanent solution instead of a quick fix? Add this to /etc/fstab
/myswapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
