Re: [CentOS] Adding another swap

Hi Robert ,

First off all , thank you very much for your step by steb info. The below command creates a 1 GB file. there you have mentioned bs=1G count=1. What is count 1 there?

# Create the file: [root@beauregard ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swapfile bs=1G count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 119.248 s, 9.0 MB/s #Make the swap fs on the file:

If I want to create a file with 2 GB , then , What should I mention? count 2 or 1?

What is the correct one out of below 2 commands

dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swapfile bs=2G count=2

or

dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/swapfile bs=2G count=1

Hope to hear form you.
