Paris Nord Train Station. Paris Nord Train Station. The Paris Nord Train Station (Gare du Nord) was originally built in 1846. Shortly after, it was rebuilt three times to increase the size of the station due to increasing traffic. The new and improved station was fully functional by 1864.
Linux has two forms of swap space: the swap partition and the swap file. The swap partition is an independent section of the hard disk used solely for swapping; no other files can reside there. The swap file is a special file in the filesystem that resides amongst your system and data files. To see what swap space you have, use the command swapon -s.
Swap partitions are typically designated as type 82. Even though it is possible to use any partition type as swap, it is recommended to use type 82 in most cases since systemd will automatically detect it and mount it (see below). To set up a partition as Linux swap area, the mkswap command is used.
