Os passos básicos de como criar um arquivo de troca são descritos no artigo Arch Wiki sobre swap. Tomei a liberdade de condensar todas essas etapas em um script。 Uso básico:
O uso é muito simples:
sudo ./addswap.sh INTEGER LETTER
Para adicionar 1 gigabyte, você deve fazer sudo ./addswap.sh 1 G
. Para adicionar 1 megabyte do sudo ./addswap.sh 1 M
.
Script
Este script também está disponível no meu repositório pessoal do GitHub .
