In general, in the swapspace utility, the total swap file size is controlled by a combination of the three options freetarget=30, upper_freelimit=60, and lower_freelimit=20. Based on them, the utility limits the total size of the paging file in % depending on the free disk space and free RAM. Using the freetarget=20, upper_freelimit=30 and lower_freelimit=10 parameters, we managed to achieve an acceptable size of the total swap file memory
