ADDING SWAP TO AWS EC2 INSTANCE + MEMORY ALLOCATION PROBLEM
Adding Swap to Aws EC2 instance:-
sudo /bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.1 bs=1M count=1024
sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
sudo chmod 600 /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/mkswap /var/swap.1
sudo chmod 600 /var/swap.1
sudo /sbin/swapon /var/swap.1
If you need more than 1024 then change that to something higher.
To enable it by default after reboot, add this line to /etc/fstab:
swap /var/swap.1 swap defaults 0 0
To turn ON the swap do the following:
swapon -a
To turn off the swap do the following:
swapon -a
To turn off the swap do the following:
sudo /sbin/swapoff /var/swap.1
