CORRECT TEXT
Create a 2G swap partition which take effect automatically at boot-start, and it should not affect
the original swap partition.
Answer: A
Explanation:
# fdisk /dev/sda
p
(check Partition table)
n
(create new partition: press e to create extended partition, press p to create the main partition, and
theextended partition is further divided into logical partitions) Enter
+2G
t
l
W
partx -a /dev/sda
partprobe
mkswap /dev/sda8
Copy UUID
swapon -a
vim /etc/fstab
UUID=XXXXX swap swap defaults 0 0
(swapon -s)
fdisk /dev/sda
follow prompts and create primary partition
when you get toi size enter +2G
make sure to set type to swap (I believe its 82)
once complete
mkswap -L NEWSWAP /dev/sda1
swapon -L NEWSWAP
vim /etc/fstab
LABEL=NEWSWAP swap defaults 0 0
once you enter the hex digit of 82, type “p” to get a listing of the partition table. The disk you will run mkswap on should be the last entry that appears (which would not have appeared before from the fdisk output)
Does anyone know if this is still valid for the Rehat 7 exam?
Try cfdisk
