swap的作用
swap分区是必须有的，首先，它是日志文件系统得以发挥作用的依赖，在系统意外关闭的情况下，靠它来保存系统中的数据。其次，在运行一些比较耗内存的程序的时候，也要用到它。在这两种情况之外，swap分区处于一种闲置状态，
处理交换文件和分区
交换分区是系统RAM的补充
基本设置包括：
创建交换分区或者文件
使用mkswap写入特殊签名
在/etc/fstab文件中添加适当的条目
使用swapon -a 激活交换空间
挂载交换分区
启用： swapon
swapon [OPTION]... [DEVICE]
-a：激活/etc/fstab文件中所有的交换分区；
-p PRIORITY：指定优先级
/etc/fstab:pri=value
禁用： swapoff [OPTION]... [DEVICE]
SWAP的优先级
用户可以给某个swap指定一个0到32767的优先级
如果用户没有指定，那么核心会自动给swap指定一个优先级，这个优先级从-1开始，每加入一个新的没有用户指定优先级的swap，会给这个优先级减一。
先添加的swap的缺省优先级比较高，除非用户自己指定一个优先级，而用户指定的优先级(是正数)永远高于核心缺省指定的优先级(是负数)。
优化性能：分布存放，高性能磁盘存放
swap分区的创建
步骤
1、分区
2、格式化
3、挂载
查看当前交换分区总空间

执行“swapon -a”激活交换分区后，再次重新查看交换分区情况
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -a
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s

注意：虽然/dev/sdb1已经挂载成功了，当sdb1的优先级比sda2低，系统还是会优先使用sda2，这样并不能提高系统的性能，应该将sdb1的优先级调高，有利于提供系统的性能。

要使优先级生效，需要把之前添加的交换分区卸载，然后再重新挂载
[root@localhost ~]# swapoff /dev/sdb1
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -a
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sdb1 partition 2097148 0 100
/dev/sda2 partition 3905532 0 -1
临时挂载
除了上面的方法，也可以使用下面的命令手动挂载，并且指定优先级，这种方法只适合临时挂载，重新启动就会失效。
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/sda2 partition 3905532 0 -1
[root@localhost ~]# swapon /dev/sdb1 -p 100
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s

取消/dev/sdb1交换分区的挂载
[root@localhost ~]# swapon -s
