Note that a swap file must not contain any holes. Using cp(1) to
create the file is not acceptable. Neither is use of fallocate(1) on
file systems that support preallocated files, such as XFS or ext4, or
on copy-on-write filesystems like btrfs. It is recommended to use
dd(1) and /dev/zero in these cases. Please read notes from swapon(8)
before adding a swap file to copy-on-write filesystems.

You should not use swapon on a file with holes. This can be seen in
the system log as
swapon: swapfile has holes.
The swap file implementation in the kernel expects to be able to write
to the file directly, without the assistance of the filesystem. This
is a problem on preallocated files (e.g. fallocate(1)) on filesystems
like XFS or ext4, and on copy-on-write filesystems like btrfs.
因此,虽然它fallocate
可能比快dd
,但它不适合创建交换文件,并且不受交换相关工具的支持。
fallocate
通常更快(因为它不会用零填充创建的文件)-否则没有区别,最终结果是相同的。请参阅:antipaucity.com/2017/08/31/...
