Yes and with today's kernels it provides the same level of performance.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/.swapfile bs=1M count=512
# mkswap /.swapfile
fstab:
/.swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
Or if you use lvm, turn swapoff the lv, lvresize the lv, mkswap the lv
again, then swapon the lv and you have a larger swap, but the swapfile
will at least be contiguous.
