Definition:
- Create swap space on a storage partition. You’ll typically use it when you wish to move swap space to a different partition
Synopsis:
mkswap [options] device [size]
List of options:
-c, --check- Check the device (if it is a block device) for bad blocks before creating the swap area. If any bad blocks are found, the count is printed.
-p, --pagesize size- Specify the Paging size (in bytes) to use. This option is usually unnecessary; mkswap reads the size from the kernel.
-L, --label label- Specify a label for the device, to allow swapon by label.
