How to add more swap on a linux Vm.
It can be used on a physical machine too but remember that swap is store on a file and not in a dedicate partition.
#########################sWap File #Create Local Folder mkdir -p /usr/local/swap/ #Create a 2Gb Local File to store swap dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/local/swap/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=2097152 #2gb 4194304 mkswap /usr/local/swap/swapfile1 #set Grant On File cd /usr/local/swap/ chown root:root swapfile1 chmod 0600 swapfile1 #Enable Swap swapon swapfile1
Add this line in /ect/fstab to load swap on system startup:
/usr/local/swap/swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0
