swap on linux

[Tim.Keller at stratus.com (Keller, Tim)]

well the only way todo that is to create a file, format as a swap file and
then use the swapon command to add it.

aka...
	dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bcount=60000 will create a 30MB file...

mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

now if you do a swap -s and it'll show you that you now have some file swap
as well.. you should see that the priority is lower than the partiton
swap... I don't think you can make them the same, it has to be either lesser
or greater (though don't quote me on that)

Tim.
