So I got another huge 1TB hard disk, and I figured that I could devote some of that to additional swap space.
I partitioned the disk with one partition, sdb8, formatted as a swap partition. This partition can be activiated like this:
sudo swapon sdb8Of course next time, I boot this partition will not be mounted as a swap partition. To ensure that it is, I need to edit /etc/fstab.
