    [How to] Enable swapfile on LibreELEC

    From @escalade in Remix

    By default LibreELEC does not have a swapfile.

    You can enable a swapfile by:

    cp /etc/swap.conf /storage/.config

    then edit it and change

    SWAP_ENABLED="no" to SWAP_ENABLED="yes".

    SWAPFILESIZE="128" to your required swapfile size - normally 4 x RAM but RAM should be enough for a normal LE system.

    When you reboot, a swapfile the size of SWAPFILESIZE is generated in /storage/.config/swapfile.

    however, I have not changed the SWAPFILESIZE="128" at first, then I closed the swap and reboot and then modified SWAPFILESIZE="other" and reboot

    the swap file recreated still is 128MB, and I follow this guide(https://linuxhint.com/change_swap_size_ubuntu/) try to modify, but it not work:

    swapon -s

    swapoff -a

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=256 (can not use dd, say swapfile readonly)

    so, how to change swapfile size?
