  • How to change swapfile size on LibreELEC?

    Hi guys, thank you again for all the information you have given me.

    I would like to say, if anyone needed it, that with the indications of tokul I was able perfectly to make work the swap on USB external disk on OrangePi Lite 512MB.

    Thanks chewitt, I had read your warnings about swap and zram before I even asked for help, and I want to confirm that unfortunately it is not a miracle system and it changes things very little.

    But above all I wanted to try to learn something new, whether it solved my problem or not.

    For LE work properly, 512MB of ram is too little, know this.

    I want to conclude by saying just one thing to chewitt.

    Since there is also the OrangePi Lite 1GB model can I ask you to continue the support for this board model too?

    I will try one of this model in the next few days, using the image compiled and attached by Deoptim, and I will also try to increase the ram memory of my OPi 512MB following the advice of piernov at the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux2U4yvx_Po.

    I was stuck at OpenElec on my board 512MB, but I must say that the image created by Deoptim seems to work well!

    Thanks again to everyone for your help, good continuation on the forum and with LE.

  • How to change swapfile size on LibreELEC?

    Hi tokul, thanks for your help.

    I imagined the problem was that when the swap file is created at startup the drive is not yet mounted and is mounted later.

    I want to try to create an external swap because randomly the system freezes and reboots by itself, the probable symptom is that the RAM memory is full.

    Trying the free command I see that about 100MB is left available and I think this is causing the random reboots.

    I will try the method you recommended as soon as possible, but I did not understand only one thing.

    Do I still have to create the /storage/.config/swap.conf file or not?

    If so, what should I enter in it?

    Thanks a lot!

  • How to change swapfile size on LibreELEC?

    Hello.

    I have a problem creating a swap file on an external drive, on a similar board, OrangePi Lite with 512MB of RAM.

    Following the guide I tried all ways to replace the swap file location by editing /storage/.config/swap.conf without success.

    I don't know how to change the SWAPFILE="$HOME/.cache/swapfile" entry so that it creates the file on a USB drive connected to the board.

    If I try for example "SWAPFILE="$HOME/var/media/DISK_LABEL/swapfile", which is the location where the USB drive is mounted from LE, actually the swapfile is created in a new folder on the SD card and not on the external drive.

    Can anyone help me find where I'm wrong?

    Hello.
    Thank you for this work, it could resurrect my 512MB OPiLite!
    It seems to work fine to me, but the RAM memory will soon fill up.
    I have a problem using an external drive for the swap file.
