有两种方式：
第一种：分区
1、创建一个分区并将分区改为Linux swap / Solaris
[root@16nn.com ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb
Command (m for help): n
Command action
e extended
p primary partition (1-4)
p
Partition number (1-4): 1
First cylinder (1-652, default 1):
Using default value 1
Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-652, default 652): +500M
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 652 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 62 497983+ 83 Linux
Command (m for help): t
Selected partition 1
Hex code (type L to list codes): 82
Changed system type of partition 1 to 82 (Linux swap / Solaris)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdb: 5368 MB, 5368709120 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 652 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 1 62 497983+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Command (m for help): w
2、[root@16nn.com ~]# mkswap /dev/sdb1
3、[root@16nn.com ~]# swapon -a /dev/sdb1
4、在/etc/fstab 中加入
/dev/sdb1 swap swap defaults 0 0
第二种：文件
1、生成一个500M的文件
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=10M count=50
2、mkswap /swapfile
3、swapon /swapfile
4、在/etc/fstab 中加入
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
相关查看命令：
free
swapon -s
cat /proc/swaps
关闭命令
swapoff /swapfile swapoff /dev/sdb1
