Add temp swap space to FreeBSD
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr4/swapfile bs=1024k count=1024 # echo "/dev/vn0c /usr4/swapfile swap" >> /etc/vntab: # vnconfig -ae # swapinfo
Freebsd 7.2
Finally something that makes more sense1. Be certain that your kernel configuration includes the memory disk driver (md(4)). It is default in GENERIC kernel. device md # Memory "disks" 2. Create a swapfile (/usr/swap0): # dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1024k count=64 3. Set proper permissions on (/usr/swap0): # chmod 0600 /usr/swap0 4. Enable the swap file in /etc/rc.conf: swapfile="/usr/swap0" # Set to name of swapfile if aux swapfile desired. 5. Reboot the machine or to enable the swap file immediately, type: # mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /usr/swap0 -u 0 && swapon /dev/md0
