MISSING ... Swap Partition

[jamesbandido]

this is my output ...

500000+0 records in
500000+0 records out
512000000 bytes (512 MB) copied, 59.3131 s, 8.6 MB/s
root@bandido-laptop:~# mkswap /swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 511995 kB
no label, UUID=8f37e2f8-052d-4920-8b3d-82fd9bae7453

Then you'll want an entry in /etc/fstab for it as well... same as a regular swap partition, but instead of a /dev/... device just put the path to the swapfile

how do i do this ?

this is the contents of my fstab ...
