# Change Swap Size

1. Turn off all running swap processes: `swapoff -a`
2. Resize swap `fallocate -l 1G /swapfile` (change 1G to the gigabyte size you want it to be)
3. CHMOD swap: `chmod 600 /swapfile`
4. Make file usable as swap `mkswap /swapfile`
5. Active the swap file `swapon /swapfile`

To verify your swap size run the following command and you will see the swap size: `free -m`
