sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile count=4096 bs=1MiB

# Set correct permissions
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile

# Make it swap
sudo mkswap /swapfile

# Turn it on
sudo swapon /swapfile

# Test
swapon -s

# To Make Permanent
sudo nano /etc/fstab

# Check Swappiness (default 30)
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

# To change the level (10 on Mag2 Cluster)

vm.swappiness = 10

# Set for now
sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=10
