You don't need to setup a swap partition, but it is generally a good idea.

If you are using file backed disk partitions, you can create one like so:

dd if=/dev/zero of=vmSwapFile bs=1k seek=512k count=1
mkswap vmSwapFile

That will make a 512 MB swap file named "vmSwapFile"

Hi,

I just have a question about setting up domU, except the filesystem, do I
need to create a swap partition for the domU? How to do it?

Thanks,

Liang
