DESCRIPTION
mkfile
creates one or more files that are suitable for use as
NFS-mounted
swap areas. The sticky bit is set, and
the file is padded with zeroes by default.
The default size unit is bytes, but the following suffixes
may be used to multiply by the given factor:
b
(512),
k
(1024), and
m
(1048576).
OPTIONS
- -n
-
Create an empty
filename.
The size is noted, but disk blocks aren't allocated until data is
written to them.
- -v
-
Verbose. Report the names and sizes of created files.
WARNING
If a client's swap file is removed and recreated, it must be
re-exported before the client will be able to access it.
This action may only be done when the client is not running.
