1. change usb flash to another better label. A have had ADATA UFD, but I doesn't like spaces, so I'd like to change it to SWAP_USB
to skip test before all we need change config to avoid error:
Total number of sectors (30869504) not a multiple of sectors per track (63)!Add mtools_skip_check=1 to your .mtoolsrc file to skip this testecho mtools_skip_check=1 >> ~/.mtoolsrcand then change label:
$ sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdb ::swap_usb2. make swap file
dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/znotdead/SWAP_USB/swap bs=4096 count=524288we will get 2Gb file (2 * 1024 * 1024^2 / 4096 = 524288)
3. make swap:
sudo mkswap /media/znotdead/SWAP_USB/swap4. turn swap on:
sudo swapon -p 1000 /media/znotdead/SWAP_USB/swap
