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
/mnt is for mounting filesystems that don't have a standard place.
Examples would be filesystems for other operating systems (including
other Linux).
I put my swap files in /var.
I also use bs=1m so that count= takes an intelligible number, but that
might not be sensible if 1m represents a significant percentage of your
real storage and you're distressed at the time.
