Hi Nadeem,

           There's still a problem in it,
  
  > Sorry, that shoud've been
> dd if=/dev/zero  bs=size  of=yourswapfile

> where size can be 1M, 1G , etc
  
           You haven't mentioned the size, because "bs=size" is only the block size i.e. the size of chunks in which the data will be read and not the file size. So it should be,
  
  # dd if=/dev/zero of=somefile bs=<size> count=<size in KB>


With regards,
Ansari M. Saeed
