Hi Alex,
it would be nice if you'd include some more details about your machine
and your configuration, eg. how much ram do you have, the output of
mount, the size(s) of your currently used swap areas, etc.
Usually it's a good thing start reading the man page of swapon(8). AFAIK
it's simply possible creating a file using dd(1) which is sized to the
wanted swap space to add, load it to a device using mdconfig(8) and
activate it using swapon <md?>.
You may automate it on reboots modifying your /etc/rc.local
So long,
Jens
