swapping to 'disk' on a raspberry pi using a microsd card for primary storage seems like a very quick way to kill your microsd card considering the poor number of write cycles per cell on those, compared to a real ssd, and overall write endurance. not a factor if you swap device is on something like a usb3-connected $50 consumer grade ssd plugged into the raspberry pi.

- walrus01 5y agoit's been a while since I looked at it in details but it looks like raspbian has a default swap of only 100MB, you'd have to manually increase it if needed. https://cloudolife.com/2021/01/01/Raspberry-Pi/Resizing-or-disable-Swap-Size/ https://cloudolife.com/2021/01/01/Raspberry-Pi/Resizing-or-d...
