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. ~~~ Thank you. So would modifying the command to; dd if=/dev/zero of=/extra-swap bs=2048000 count=1024 ... create a 2Gb file? My apologies if this is too basic.
