point to the volume you want to use as swap

sudo mkswap /dev/nvme1n1

#enable swap

sudo swapon /dev/nvme1n1

open the swap config and make the swap persist between reboots

sudo nano /etc/fstab

add this line to the end of the file

/dev/nvme1n1 none swap sw 0 0

check swap space

sudo swapon --show
