See the solution below in Explanation.
Explanation:
Solution:
* Create the swap partition:
fdisk /dev/sdb
partprobe /dev/sdb
* Format it for swap:
mkswap /dev/sdb2
* Enable it:
swapon /dev/sdb2
* Persist it in /etc/fstab:
echo "/dev/sdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0" > > /etc/fstab
* Verify:
swapon --show
Detailed Explanation:
* mkswap prepares the partition as swap space.
* swapon activates it immediately.
* Adding an /etc/fstab entry ensures it survives reboot.
* The lab uses a partition-based swap workflow.
