The way to do it is to create a 'swap file', as follows:
1) Check disk/drive usages:
2) Create the space. This step is long if you select a large amount of space. In this example, 512MB is created under root (/), given that block size (bs) is 1024 bytes:
3) Switch it on:
*This will only last until you restart the operating system, so, useful as a temporary measure. To make the swapfile permanent, do the following:
4) Open the following file:
