Add swap?|FLX1 Owners|forum|FuriPhone FLX1 Linux Phone
The ram in the FLX1 is not enough for my usual daily routine (opening Firefox, Tuba, Fractal, Signal (in Android container) and using all of them for a while). Usually, then my firefox gets unresponsive or phosh gets ultra slow or even unusable.
I would therefore like to add a little bit of swap (but still of course want the already configured zram “swap” to come first / have higher prio). Unfortunately I don’t find where it is configured (it’s not in /etc/fstab or in /lib/init/fstab) in order to set its priority higher than the one of my new swap (for which I can’t give negative prio in /etc/fstab). By default, my new swap gets prio -2 and /dev/block/zram0 gets -3, so the wrong order. Any ideas?
What do you think of generally configuring swap space as a default for all flx1 devices? Or do you fear the storage might suffer from this?
Or do you have other ideas that are better than adding swap?
#!/bin/bash
# 2.5G
size=$((2560 * 1024 * 1024))
swap_file=”/swapfile”
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=$swap_file bs=1M count=$((size / 1024 / 1024)) status=progress
sudo chmod 600 $swap_file
sudo mkswap $swap_file
sudo swapon –priority -3 $swap_file
swapon –show
free -h
using this, i got:
cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/block/zram0 partition 3128848 1014124 -2
/swapfile file 2621436 0 -3
so zram is now -2 and swapfile is -3
it can be made as a script and enabled with systemd, something like:
[Unit]
Description=setup swap on startup
After=lxc@android.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setup-swap.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target
