-# /etc/dphys-swapfile - user settings for dphys-swapfile package

-# this file is sourced with . so full normal sh syntax applies
-
-# the default settings are added as commented out CONF_*=* lines
-
-
-# where we want the swapfile to be, this is the default
-#CONF_SWAPFILE=/var/swap
-
-# set size to absolute value, leaving empty (default) then uses computed value
-#   you most likely don't want this, unless you have an special disk situation
-CONF_SWAPSIZE=2048
-
-# set size to computed value, this times RAM size, dynamically adapts,
-#   guarantees that there is enough swap without wasting disk space on excess
-#CONF_SWAPFACTOR=2
-
-# restrict size (computed and absolute!) to maximally this limit
-#   can be set to empty for no limit, but beware of filled partitions!
-#   this is/was a (outdated?) 32bit kernel limit (in MBytes), do not overrun it
-#   but is also sensible on 64bit to prevent filling /var or even / partition
-#CONF_MAXSWAP=2048
