linux之dd在扩增swap分区时的应用
一、
linux中swap分区的基础作用:
linux swap分区是linux交换分区:linux系统物理内存不够用时,系统会自动启用swap分区,来缓解物理内存的压力,系统把物理内存里的访问频率低的内存对象移动到swap分区中,再在物理内存里产生新的连接指向swap分区中的特定的对象;
二、
相对于繁忙的服务器来说,会出现物理内存和物理分区同时不够用的情况,这时候我们就需要临时扩增swap分区的大小,达到这种目的有两种方法:
1.当硬盘的扩展分区还有剩余的内存可用,可以用fdisk命令创建新的分区,并调整分区类型为linux-swap,然后启用即可。
具体步骤:
[root@bogon ~]# free -m //查看物理内存和swap分区的使用率
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 502 474 28 0 76 274
-/+ buffers/cache: 124 378
Swap: 1019 0 1019
[root@bogon ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2610.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

2.当硬盘没有剩余的存储可创建新分区时,可以利用dd命令在已存的分区中创建一个文件,充当swap分区。
具体步骤:(现已脚本的形式呈现)
[root@bogon ~]# vi createswap.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo -n "Please input your number: "
read number
echo -n "Please input your swapfile name and the whole path: "
read path
dd if=/dev/zero of=$path bs=1M count=$number
mkswap $path
swapon $path
free -m
echo "The swap created"
结束语:到此教程完毕。
