Channel: DistroTube
Date: 21/09/2020

In this quick tutorial, I am going to create a swap file on my Linux desktop.  I'm also going to show you how to remove a swap file.  Below are the commands that I used in this video:
 
ADDING SWAP FILE
► sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=1024
► sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
► sudo mkswap /swapfile
► sudo swapon /swapfile
► swapon --show
Edit  /etc/fstab and add:
► /swapfile none swap defaults 0 0

REMOVING SWAP FILE
► sudo swapoff -v /swapfile
► sudo rm /swapfile
Edit /etc/fstab and remove the entry for the swapfile.
