Description

I encountered the need to increase the stock size of the swap on Raspbian. The default is 100MB, however I want to change it to 512MB. This can be done by doing the following:

  • Change the size in /etc/dphys-swapfile:
    vi /etc/dphys-swapfile
    • And change CONF_SWAPFILE to how many megabytes should be used for swap space:
      CONF_SWAPFILE=512

man dphys-swapfile for details.
