我們知道 CPU 計算與數(shù)據(jù)的存儲都會使用到內(nèi)存，使用內(nèi)存可以大大減少從磁盤讀取的時間，但是當物理內(nèi)存不足時，就需要暫時將用不到的程序和數(shù)據(jù)挪到內(nèi)存交換空間(swap)

作法：
1.創(chuàng)建分區(qū)（fdisk ,文件）
2.格式化為 swap
3.啟動
4.查看

創(chuàng)建分區(qū)

舉例

[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)

這里需要在進行設(shè)置下 system ID

格式化

語法：mkswap 設(shè)備名稱

舉例

[root@bogon ~]# mkswap /dev/sda6

Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 518156 kB

啟動|關(guān)閉

語法：swapon [-s]設(shè)備名稱
swapoff 設(shè)備名稱
選項與參數(shù)：
-s:查看所有 swap 文件系統(tǒng)

舉例1：啟動 swap

[root@bogon ~]# swapon /dev/sda6

舉例2：查看所有 swap

[root@bogon ~]# swapon -s
