Yes, there is...
This will create a 128MB swapfile:
cd /mnt
dd if=/dev/zero of=one.swp bs=1024 count=131072
mkswap -c /mnt/one.swp
swapon /mnt/one.swp
free -m
Note that a swap file must not contain any holes (so, using cp to copy a
large file to be used as swap is _not_ acceptable). As Mauro indicated,
make sure you use `dd` to create the swapfile.
After that, add the folloowing line to /etc/fstab:
/mnt/one.swp none swap defaults 0 0
Only needed if you want to retain this swap space across reboots. If
you're in a pinch and need additional swap only until you add some
VDISKs, this might not make sense for you guys.
