In the chapter about using a swapfile: "dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=0 seek=600" is a bit confusing, since "count=0" would create a swapfile of 0 bytes size.

0 should be replaced with [size of swap] or [inser size here]

I agree: the instruction given on the page did not work for me, or at least I did not understand how to interpret it and adapt it to my own needs. I used the following code to create a swap file of near to 5GB:

Use of fstab is necessary for permanent swap file activation
I used to have only a swap partition, and a corresponding entry in my fstab.

However I found that I don't have enough swap space there to have hibernation working properly, so I've added a swapfile by following more or less to the letter the instructions on this page. But after reboot, the headerlocations file made no mention of my swap file. It is only when looking at the section on using both a swap file and a swap partition that I realised I needed to add my swap file in the /etc/fstab.

So this bit of information should be added to the section on using a swap file. --Nichocouk 22:05, 31 January 2013 (GMT)
