Instructions to modify nbdswap size

[Jim Kronebusch]

If the default size of 32MB for nbdswap is not large enough for your situation, simply
create and /opt/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf (if it does not already exist) with the following
command:

vim /opt/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf

And add the following line (set this equal to how many MB you need available):

SIZE=128

Save the file and if necessary make root owner and set permissions with:

chown root.root /opt/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf
chmod 644 /opt/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf

Then reboot your client.  To verify the changes took effect you should now see a 128MB
file in /tmp on the server instead of the previous 32MB file.  If you want to test use
of swap on a client log into screen 01 and run free.  You should see a line with swap
size and how much is currently used.

Thanks to Scott Balneaves for the tip.
