Public bug reported:
Instruction on Ubuntu site https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
does not work. As a result I really cannot create swap space for Ubuntu
OS. I'm not sure if we can continue with this install as it is not
possible to add space. Is the OS functional in this state? I'm a noob in
this field but to me it looks like a major issue.
mylaptop:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/4gb.swap bs=1M count=51
51+0 records in
51+0 records out
53477376 bytes (53 MB) copied, 0.0408258 s, 1.3 GB/s
ostraaten@onno-top:~$ sudo swapon /mnt/4gb.swap
swapon: /mnt/4gb.swap: read swap header failed: Invalid argument
