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.
