If you need to recreate a swap file, you can follow this step as root user: dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap bs=$((1024*1024)) count=100 # 100MiB swap file mkswap /var/swap (supposing that /var/swap was a file used for swap) For activate it: swapon /var/swap For checking swap usage, you can: cat /proc/swaps If you need to make some more ram available, and you don't want to use swap, you can use zram: https://wiki.debian.org/ZRam Regards. -- Diego Roversi <die...@tiscali.it>
