Question
How can I increase or decrease swap on my server?
Answer
The swap size can be changed without rebooting the server using the create-swap script.
- Turn off swap.
swapoff -a
- Edit /etc/fstab and comment out the swap line.
#/usr/swpDSK swap swap defaults 0 0
- Run the create-swap script to resize the swap file. Please replace # with the size in Gigiabytes that the new swap file should be.
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/create-swap --size #G -v
To verify that swap was resized correctly, use the free command.
