			<description><![CDATA[<p>If the OP really is filling up their swap space then the real solution is to add more RAM. Adding more swap is just a work-around to help compensate for Linux&#039;s terrible OOM handling.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The question is in specific equipment and tasks, of course, and everyone chooses his own.</p><p> In my experience, with 4 GB of memory and normal user tasks, the swap has been empty for several years.<br />For tasks such as copying files that exceed the size of memory, the kernel, creating buffers, leaves approx. 100 MB without using swap.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello good people of the forum,</p><p>This is something I have not done in my 20 years or so of using *NIX systems. I want to increase the swap partition. Looking around, I am suspecting this can be done with a live gparted session &gt; delete current swap &gt; create new space choosing &quot;free space following&quot; &gt; make the new space created &quot;linux-swap&quot;. Reboot the box.</p><p>If I keep the name of the new swap partition &quot;/dev/sda5&quot; I should be ok with fstab.</p><p>Any other pointers or corrections will be appreciated.</p><p>Regards.</p>]]></description>
