Where is the swap file in Linux?
The swap file is a special file in the filesystem that resides amongst your system and data files. Each line lists a separate swap space being used by the system. Here, the ‘Type’ field indicates that this swap space is a partition rather than a file, and from ‘Filename’ we see that it is on the disk sda5.
How do I edit a swap file in Ubuntu?
To change the size of this swap file:
- Disable the swap file and delete it (not really needed as you will overwrite it) sudo swapoff /swapfile sudo rm /swapfile.
- Create a new swap file of the desired size. With thanks to user Hackinet, you can create a 4 GB swap file with the command sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile.
