创建swap分区
[root@localhost cdrom]# fdisk /dev/sdc
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI or OSF disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that, of course, the previous
content won't be recoverable.
 
 
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)
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 4 will be corrected by w(rite)

格式swap
[root@localhost cdrom]# mkswap /dev/sdc1
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 2056282 kB
加载swap,并查看效果
[root@localhost cdrom]# free #查看默认的

另一种建立swap文件的方法实现
首先使用dd命令创建一个swap的文档
[root@localhost cdrom]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/swap bs=1M count=128
128+0 records in
128+0 records out
134217728 bytes (134 MB) copied, 0.819607 seconds, 164 MB/s
