Yes it is. Say you wanted to add a 1 Gigabyte swap file. First you need to make sure you have 1GB to dedicate to it. Assuming your root partition has space, the following commands will do it...
You then need to add the following line to [tt]/etc/vfstab[/tt]...
That should do it.
Hope this helps.
Code:
mkfile 1024m /swapfile
swap -a /swapfile
Code:
/swapfile - - swap - no -Hope this helps.
