RT-AC87U swap file tutorial

[raduzl74]

Hello,

I have an RT-AC87U that reboots and I want to create a swap file to improve memory (AI is on as well as the other security options). What should be the right size? Shall I do the entire USB drive (8 GB)?

I've Entware-ng installed with Owncloud and some other features and 2 GB was recommended. If you don't have anything like that even less is enough

256MB should be sufficient for most needs. If you create a bigger swap area, it may just stay unused. You can create a 256MB swap, and check after some heavy use how much was used with the free command

Swap file usage is also shown on the Tools page in the WebUI.
