Creating a Swap Partition

1.   Use  fdisk /dev/vda  to open your disk in fdisk. (Use gdisk if you are using a disk with a GUID partition table.)

2.   Press  n  to add a new partition. Specify start and stop cylinders and size.

3.   Type  t  to change the partition type. If you are using fdisk, use partition type 82. If you are using gdisk, use partition type 8200.

4.   Use mkswap to format the partition as swap space. Use, for instance,  mkswap /dev/vda6  if the partition you have just created is /dev/vda6.

5.   Type  free -m . You see the amount of swap space that is currently allocated.

6.   Use swapon to switch on the newly allocated swap space. If, for instance, the swap device you have just created is /dev/vda6, use  swapon /dev/vda6  to activate the swap space.

7.   Type  free -m  again. You see that the new swap space has been added to your server.
