A swapfile which you enable on a per ebuild basis if required, can be handy. |

You can configure this in a package.profile file. On an ext4 fs you could do |

this as root: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
touch swapfile |
| 25 |
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=4096 count=400000 |
| 26 |
mkswap -L Swappage swapfile |
| 27 |
swapon swapfile |
| 28 |
|

If it is a btrfs you'll need to tweak things to be able to used it as a swap: |
