Correct way to permanently configure swap?

Software SW help

What is the correct way to permanently configure swap on the Turris Omnia? I’ve created a swap partition on the SSD in my Omnia, and activated it with swapon , but what is the correct way to permanently configure it - to have it enabled on boot?

In /etc/config/fstab add:

config swap
	option enabled '1'
	option uuid '8995e736-688e-4b46-9ead-b2d5eda75917'

Of course, use your partition ID. You can find it in block info command.

Thanks. I couldn’t get Busybox’s mkswap to give it an UUID so went with the device option. Haven’t rebooted yet, so cannot say for sure that it works. Will update here later.

My /etc/config/fstab did not exist, so I created it.

root@turris:~# mkswap /dev/sda1

It did not work, after reboot swap was not activated.

Make sure your service /etc/init.d/fstab is enabled and started
