Can I increase swap size by just adding a swap file for permanent?

Hello,
I am doing installation of oracle 11gR2 database on Linux.
the swap area size is not enough. so can't go thought OUI's pre-system check before installation.
the system administrator says, he really feel hard to find out any free uppartitioned disk space for adding more to current swap.
he wants me to see if he can add a swap file (rather than an entire device/partition) for swap space.
I checked docs:
How to Create a Swap Device on Enterprise Linux [ID 432991.1]
it says,
"If no free, unpartitioned disk space exists, a swap file (rather than an entire device/partition) can be used for swap space as a *temporary*"
but why temporary? why not permanent (I don't want to have trouble in future) is there anyone can help me to confirm?
Thank you very much in advance.

  • Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact

    Can you increase the size of the photo that shows when you receive a call from a contact ?

    It used to be if you added the contacts photo on the iOS device they would have a large picture and if you added it from Address Book on OS X they would have a smaller thumbnail.  However, since iOS5, all I've been able to get is the larger photo.  Try adding the picture directly in the contacts app on your device.  That should make it larger.

  • How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite?

    How can I increase the size of UI toolbars across Adobe Creative suite especially indesign, photoshop, illustrator on a new Apple retina display 2560 x 1140 with out changing/scaleing my screen resolution down?

    While some applications let you change the font size of the UI (notably Photoshop in Interface Preferences), others do not yet (like InDesign).
    You'll need to make your request using this form for it to be seen by the product manager(s):
    Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Make a good case because there are hundreds (thousands?) of things people request InDesign to do.

    Can I increase the size of my "Genius" selections?

    Hi,
    CampTune http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ maybe able to do this since it has its own Boot-CD from which you boot your Mac for the resizing procedure.
    I haven't tried it myself so I can't guarantee this.
    Make sure to have/make a backup of your valuable data before 'fumbling' with partitions.
    Windows XP itself has no means to resize on a Mac.

  • Can you increase the size of your contact photos on the BB Style?

    When a call comes in, is there a way to increase the size of the photo to actually be able see who it is whose calling?  I mean when they say "thumbnail" photo, they aren't kidding!

    From within the phone, no you can't increase the size of the display photo.
    There are apps available in AppWorld which may be able to accomplish this but that's the only way you'll be able to adjust the size.
    - If my response has helped you, please click "Options" beside my post and mark it as solved. Clicking the "thumbs up" icon near the bottom of my response would also be appreciated.

    Check Mail Preferences, Accounts tab. Select the account, then the Mailbox Behaviors tab. See if you have it set to Permanently erase deleted messages when: One week old. (or less)
