Increase SWAP ?

« on: March 24, 2021, 04:16:16 pm »

Hi,

Is it possible to increase the SWAP size on an existing and running installation ?

If so, can you please provide the steps ?
If not, I need to reinstall and restore my config backup then ?

Thanks,
@lex

We never touch /etc/fstab so this applies easily:

The additional swap file is probably the least destructive approach (and the best one for flash storage).

Cheers,
