Just felt I should post a wrap up on my swap increase journey.

All last week I ran with 4GB real memory and a total of 8GB swap.

I was using all the real memory and pretty much 4GB of swap with poor performance.

What was going on?  With Fedora 28 I was running fairly well with 4GB, or was I?  Plus I upgraded from a 2 core x120e to a 4 core x140e and I thought things would be better.

So this morning I pulled a 4GB card out of another x140e I have that is currently off.

Free is reporting:

$ free
              total        used        free      shared buff/cache   available
Mem:        7416056     3609248      860448      354948 2946360     3158088
Swap:       3419132           0     3419132

and performance is just fine.  So I was suffering with only 4GB of real memory.  Perhaps F30 needs more than F28 or 4 core is just having more things going and needs more memory.

Anyway, going to have to pop for the $20 for a 4GB card to put into the system that is sitting with no memory....

Thanks for the help on adding a swap file.  I have recorded that in my instructions file for any future need.
