LINUX + red hat + 如何在磁盘分区上定义交换：/dev/cciss/c0d0p6

Question

如何在磁盘分区上定义交换（8G 使用量）：/dev/cciss/c0d0p6 （我有 Linux red hat 5.3）

for example:
in my machine I not have swap definition 

Swap:            0          0          0


the target is to create the following swap:
swapon -s 

Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/cciss/c0d0p6                       partition       8385888 0       -1

Answer 1

mkswap /dev/cciss/c0d0p6
echo '/dev/cciss/c0d0p6 none swap sw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
swapon -a
