To increase the size of your swap file on Linux Mint, follow these steps:
Look how much swap you currently have
free -h
Turn off the current swap file
sudo swapoff /swapfile
Resize the swap file
Replace XG with the desired new size (e.g., 4G for 4 GB):
sudo fallocate -l XG /swapfile
If fallocate is not supported, use:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=4096
(for 4 GB, adjust count accordingly)
Set the correct permissions
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
Format the swap file
sudo mkswap /swapfile
Enable the new swap file
sudo swapon /swapfile
Verify swap space
free -h
Make it permanent
Ensure the swap file is reactivated on reboot by adding this line to /etc/fstab:
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
Your swap size is now increased.
