hi,
i don't know how to increase swap space in debian, but i can guide u for
RedHat Linux..
1. check the status of ur swap by ( swapon -s )
2.create one partition with swap id ( size- according to ur requirements )
3.Make ur swap off ( swapoff -a)
4.mkswap -L swap1 /dev/sda7 ( here -L option for label, and the labelname
is swap1, /dev/sda7 is the new swap partition which is going to be added )
5. put entry in /etc/fstab like this:
LABEL=swap1 swap1 swap defaults 0 0
6. save it, refresh /etc/fstab
mount -a ( to refresh /etc/fstab)
7.make swap on ( swapon -a)
8. check status ( swapon -s)
this will display two partion in ur swap space with different priority
number.
9. give ( free ) command to check ur swap space
10. for MB, use ( free -m)
