Oefenweb.swapfile

Swapfile

This is an Ansible role used to manage a swap file on systems similar to Debian.

Requirements

• fallocate (this will be installed automatically)

Variables

• swapfile_size: [default: 1G, false for no action]: The size of the swap file you want to create. You can specify sizes like KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB, and EiB (the "iB" is optional, so "K" is the same as "KiB") or in decimal like KB, MB, GB, PB, and EB.
• swapfile_swappiness: [optional]: This percentage (vm.swappiness) affects how often the system swaps memory pages – lower values mean less swapping.
• swapfile_vfs_cache_pressure: [optional]: This percentage controls how aggressively the kernel reclaims memory used for caching directory and inode objects.

Dependencies
