1. 前言
现在,越来越多的人在一台使用Linux 和 Windows. 这应该说是Linux的胜利. 我们知道, Linux 要使用交换分区，Windows 要使用交换文件。如果一台PIII, 有192M 内存，我们分配给Linux 192M 交换区， Windows 2000 至少要200M. 那么，我们要用近400M硬盘空间。如果交换区更大，浪费就更可观了。
由于两个系统的交换区都只是运行时的临时数据,所以,我们采用动态修改分区信息的方法来达到共享目的.
2. 方法简介
1). 备份Windows 分区信息。
2). 当启动Linux时， 将该分区做成Linux 交换区，并将其激活。
3） 当Linux 关闭时，将该分区重新变成Windows 交换区。
3. 具体步骤
1). 分区
Fdisk, 只分主分区, 不分扩展分区
2). 安装 Windows.
3). 安装Linux (占一个主分区)
4). 在Linux 下, 分扩展分区)
5). 设定Linux交换区(假定/dev/hda10)
6). 建立winswap 设备ln -s /dev/hda10 /dev/winswap
7). 启动Linux, 关闭交换区# swapoff -a
8). 从文件安装表中删除该分区vi /etc/fstab注释掉该行 (/dev/hda10)
9). 将该分区该成 FAT16 或其他 DOS 分区.
10). 启动 Windows
a). 格式化该分区
b). 将系统的交换文件设在该分区.
11). 启动 Linux, 计算Total Special Sectors公式:
T = r + (s * f) + (d / 16)
参数:
Reserved Sectors at beginning : r
FAT Copies : f
Sectors per FAT : s
Root directory entries : d
参见: msinfo.sh
注解: 可以运行 msinfo.sh 来获得.
# msinfo.sh /dev/hda10
12). 备份Windows 分区信息
# dd if=/dev/winswap bs=512 count=XXX | gzip -9 /etc/winswap.gz这里, XXX = T
14). 编写启动, 退出脚本, 并把它们放在 /etc/rc.d/xxx.
可用 grep -nr * | grep swapon (或 swapoff) 来找系统激活和关闭交换区, 将它们替换称我们的脚本)
我们在附录中提供了启动和关闭的脚本.
4. 附加说明
1. 本文使用的是FAT16, 如果使用NTFS 或其它, 必须修改脚本.
2. mkswap /dev/winswap 377496 (这个值需要修改, 依照你的分区大小)
