Paris Nord Train Station. Paris Nord Train Station. The Paris Nord Train Station (Gare du Nord) was originally built in 1846. Shortly after, it was rebuilt three times to increase the size of the station due to increasing traffic. The new and improved station was fully functional by 1864.
Linux has two forms of swap space: the swap partition and the swap file. The swap partition is an independent section of the hard disk used solely for swapping; no other files can reside there. The swap file is a special file in the filesystem that resides amongst your system and data files. To see what swap space you have, use the command swapon -s.
The general procedure to add a swap partition/file: 1  create either a new partition of type 82h or a new 8 GB file using dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=8192. 2  initialize it using mkswap /swapfile or mkswap /dev/sdXX.3  use swapon /swapfile or swapon /dev/sdXX respectively to enable your new swap space on-the-fly.ou decided to create a separate swap partition upon installation. You can't resize it online-even an offline resize is going to take a considerable amount of time and bear the potential risk of damaging your subsequent filesystem on /dev/sdc2.
