Description
Preferences -> Virtual Memory
By default the virtual memory is enabled and the swap file size is 2GB. After the user disables virtual memory and reboots the host, the swap file is still there and consuming 2GB of disk space:
> ls -l /system/var/swap -rw------- 1 user root 2146369536 Feb 20 13:52 /system/var/swap
One of the reasons to disable virtual memory is to reclaim disk space, so it would be most useful to delete or to truncate the swap file when not in use. This may be a bit more complicated than it seems due to the reasons discussed in #7550 and #8971.
