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,
