via shell:
# Do file and give it the name swap
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swap bs=1024 count=262144
# This file is converted to swap
mkswap /home/swap
# Take away permisions
chmod go-rwx /home/swap
# Activate Memory Swap
swapon /home/swap
After that, when you type over Shell "free -m" you will see that you have a memory Swap 256MB
Number "262144" In the first command is in KB. That number you change depending on how much you want to have swap memory.
I forgot to put something. Before the server restarts must edit the file: "fstab"
The file is located on: " etc/fstab " (for CentOS 5).
Must be put into file this line:
/home/swap swap swap defaults 0 0
... and save it.
