Tried *fallocate* to create swapfile then swapon report error, something
like:
swapon: /path2swapfile : swapon failed: Invalid argument
Only figured it out several cups of tea and google-fu later that it was
indeed a sparse problem. Strangely enough the partition is newly created,
formated as xfs, and has over 300G free space on it. dd is the solution.
