答案1
从 Ubuntu 18.04 开始,使用交换文件而不是专用交换分区(使用 LVM 时除外)。交换文件名为swapfile
。要更改此交换文件的大小:
禁用交换文件并将其删除(实际上没有必要,因为您将覆盖它)
sudo swapoff /swapfile sudo rm /swapfile
创建所需大小的新交换文件。感谢用户 Hackinet,您可以使用以下命令创建 4 GB 交换文件
sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile
在此命令中,调整
4G
到您想要的大小。或者,您可以使用
dd
,但输入正确的参数需要进行一些计算。如果您想创建一个 4 GB 的交换文件,则需要写入 4 * 1024 个 1024 2字节(= 1 MiB)的块。这将使您的计数等于 4 * 1024 = 4096。使用以下命令创建此大小的文件sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=4096
仅为 root 分配读/写权限(不是严格需要,但它可以加强安全性)
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
将文件格式化为交换文件:
sudo mkswap /swapfile
该文件将在下次重启时激活。如果要为当前会话激活它:
sudo swapon /swapfile
您可以使用命令检查可用的交换swapon -s
(无需 root 权限)。

建议man mkswap
使用dd
如下命令@vanadium 帖子。
If you don't know the page size that your machine uses,
you may be able to look it up with
"cat /proc/cpuinfo"
(or you may not – the contents of this file depend on architecture and kernel version).
To set up a swap file, it is necessary to create that file before
initializing it with mkswap, e.g. using a command like
# fallocate --length 8GiB swapfile
Note that a swap file must not contain any holes. Using cp(1) to
create the file is not acceptable.
Neither is use of fallocate(1) on file systems that support preallocated
files, such as XFS or ext4, or on copy-on-write filesystems like btrfs.
It is recommended to use dd(1) and /dev/zero in these cases.
Please read notes from swapon(8) before adding a swap file to copy-on-
write filesystems.
这里的笔记man swapon
NOTES
You should not use swapon on a file with holes. This can be seen in
the system log as
swapon: swapfile has holes.
The swap file implementation in the kernel expects to be able to write
to the file directly, without the assistance of the filesystem. This
is a problem on preallocated files (e.g. fallocate(1)) on filesys‐
tems like XFS or ext4, and on copy-on-write filesystems like btrfs.
It is recommended to use dd(1) and /dev/zero to avoid holes on XFS
and ext4.
swapon may not work correctly when using a swap file with some
versions of btrfs. This is due to btrfs being a copy-on-write
filesystem: the file location may not be static and corruption can
result.
Btrfs actively disallows the use of swap files on its filesystems
by refusing to map the file.
One possible workaround is to map the swap file to a loopback device.
This will allow the filesystem to determine the mapping properly but
may come with a performance impact.
Swap over NFS may not work.
