Wait, do you really need to reboot after partprobe? Seems unnecessary.

I definitely recall needing to edit /etc/fstab to make the swap partition usable at boot time, but I might mix up the syntax.

I practiced a similar question where I had to set up a swap partition, and I think I used mkswap correctly after creating it.

I remember using fdisk to create partitions, but I'm not sure if I should choose logical or primary for swap.

Wait, do I need to reboot the system after creating the swap partition? I want to make sure it's automatically enabled at boot time. Better double-check that part.

Okay, I've got this. Create a new 100MB logical partition, set the system ID to swap, then run mkswap and swapon. Easy peasy. I'll make sure to update the fstab too.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the specific commands to use. I'll need to review the fdisk and mkswap steps carefully. Hopefully, I can get it right on the first try.

This looks straightforward, I think I can handle it. The key steps are creating a new logical partition, setting the swap system ID, and enabling the swap space. I'll make sure to double-check the partition name and sizes.
