Changing Swappiness

[Moltke]

Hi [member=7067]JanetBiggar[/member]

I tried to see if I could "save" the changes in terminal command line, but no choice to save.  I think I'm missing something.

To save the file on nano press Ctrl+O, you'll be asked to save the changes made to the file, hit enter to confirm, then Ctrl+X to close.

Then type

Code:

$ cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

to verify the changes have been made.

I also tried the:
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=1

I think you should try with the sudo command

Code:

$ sudo sysctl -w vm.swappiness=1
