xxavi Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 Hi , I have an ASUS Tinker board S and I installed Armbian 5.54. How can I increase the default ( 1 GB ) swap space ? Thanks, see you.

This is compressed memory type of swap and calculated upon boards memory. Why on earth do you want to increase this? It is not recommended to increase this type of SWAP if you don't know what you are doing ... but you can add a normal and downgrade your system to horribly slow swap file. Google can tell you how. https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/
Tido Posted August 5, 2018 Posted August 5, 2018 Hi xxavi, If you like to learn more about the way swap is implemented in Armbian you can read these two threads: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/5565-zram-vs-swap/ https://forum.armbian.com/topic/7503-we-need-your-help/ You will see that a lot of testing and ideas are part of that implemention - I hope it fits your need too. Cheers Tido
