To install Oracle Database 10g, I need to increase the swap memory to 1004 MB.
Tangential aside: Does anyone have an informed opinion on whether the "swap should be double RAM" rule still makes sense?
Couldsomebody explain how to do this the fastest way? Thanks!
Assuming you've got the free disk space:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=512K # mkswap swapfile # swapon swapfile
(replace "swapfile" above with an appropriate path for your system).
Eventually you should make a permanent swap out of a real disk partition, perhaps by adding a drive to the machine.
