new to this and I am trying to figure what will be the best way to go on about this. I have a system that I need to increase its swap file, I realized that the swap partition is not lvm so that is kind of out. However, my current swap partition is 8Gb but needs to be at 16GB.
# swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/swapfile file 8191996 6341008 -1
I guess my issue is that it is a swap file and not a partition (at least is an issue for me :(...) I read online I can use dd to create a swapfile, but I'm not sure I understand how to actually increase the size or if I need to create a new partition.
/etc/fstab looks like this:
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
Any recommendations on how to proceed?
