Hello,
I'd like to create a 2 GB swap file after adding more memory to my system, however how can I create such file by modifying the command below;
dd if=/dev/zero of=/extra-swap bs=1024 count=1024
Is 'count' in Mb or Kb?
in blocks. and in your example, the blocksize (bs parameter) is 1 kb, so the file would be 1024kb = 1 megabyte. its all in the man page, by the way. bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
