Linux Swap

Determines the ideal size /swapfile, ensures it exists, and then enables it on Linux systems

Overview

This script determines the ideal /swapfile size by checking how much RAM is available on the system. It then creates the appropriate /swapfile by considering factors such as the file system type. It currently supports BTRFS and regular file systems.

After the /swapfile is created, it is enabled and assigned the appropriate permissions.

TODO

• Add logic that creates a swapfile for ZFS-based systems
• Integrate logic from https://gitlab.com/megabyte-labs/gas-station/-/blob/master/roles/system/common/tasks/linux/swap.yml
