Linux 的交换分区(swap),或者叫内存置换空间(swap space),是磁盘上的一块区域,可以是一个分区,也可以是一个文件,或者是他们的组合。交换分区的作用是,当系统物理内存吃紧时,Linux 会将内存中不常访问的数据保存到swap 上,这样系统就有更多的物理内存为各个进程服务,而当系统需要访问 swap 上存储的内容时,再将 swap 上的数据加载到内存中,也就是说,当正常内存已经占满,不够用时,系统就会使用虚拟内存,以缓解服务器压力,避免崩溃,增强稳定性。但是其速度有限,常只是作为突发情况的缓冲。
使用 swap 交换分区,显著的优点是,通过操作系统的调度,应用程序实际可以使用的内存空间将远远超过系统的物理内存。由于硬盘空间的价格远比 RAM 要低,因此这种方式无疑是经济实惠的。当然,频繁地读写硬盘,会显著降低操作系统的运行速率,这也是使用 swap 交换分区最大的限制。
使用 swap 必须要知道它存在的缺点,以便判断何时使用交换分区。使用交换分区的好处当然就是可以一定程度的缓解内存空间紧张的问题。然而,由于 CPU 所读取的数据都来自于内存,交换分区则是存放在磁盘上的,磁盘的速度和内存比较起来慢了好几个数量级,如果不停的读写 swap,那么对系统的性能肯定有影响,尤其是当系统内存很吃紧的时候,读写 swap 空间发生的频率会很高,导致系统运行很慢。
如果使用是桌面系统,由于系统会自动将不常用的内存数据移到 swap 上,对桌面程序来说,有可能会导致最小化一个程序后,再打开时小卡一下,因为需要将 swap 上的数据重新加载到内存中来。在部署了数据库的系统上,也不建议用交换分区,因为频繁地在内存和磁盘上相互导数据会影响数据库性能。
很多时候我们安装系统的时候并没有考虑到,并不会划分swap分区,而当需要用到时,可以通过命令手动增加,删除,修改swap虚拟内存。下面就详细记录介绍一下如何操作虚拟内存。
- 磁盘上新增一个分区(lvm分区或直接分区),用分区作为swap。
- 磁盘上新增一个固定大小的文件,用文件作为swap。
推荐: 使用分区方式,新增一个分区。分区类型fdisk下为82,gdisk下为8200,partep分区标记没有定义swap,其实分区后不更改分区类型也行测试也可以用,但为了在分区工具下方便查看最好还是把分区类型改成swap对应的分区类型,本人理解分区类型就是分区软件下用来描述分区所要承载的文件系统的类型,比如分区类型为83表示为linxu分区,用于格式化成ext3 ext4等linux文件系统,分区创建的方法这里就不写了前面有分区创建的方法。

VMware Workstation添加一块硬盘
- 在"我的计算机"中选择该主机--右键--设置--添加--硬盘--下一步--下一步--下一步--完成 添加硬盘步骤。
- 命令:echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan
- 1.新增添磁盘,还不能直接显示出来,要想出现要对磁盘进行扫描(实际生产环境中不需要,都是热插拔技术):
- 2.假如 fdisk -l 还是未发现新硬盘,则将上面命令中的host0,替换为host1,host2,....看看;
- 3.我们再查看系统日志/var/log/messages,发现对SCSI设备进行了一次重新扫描,用fdisk -l也看到了新增加的磁盘了。
