Taken from Ploi:
- Turn off all running swap processes:
swapoff -a - Resize swap
fallocate -l 1G /swapfile(change 1G to the gigabyte size you want it to be) - CHMOD swap:
chmod 600 /swapfile - Make file usable as swap
mkswap /swapfile - Active the swap file
swapon /swapfile
To verify your swap size run the following command and you will see the swap size: free -m
