The swap resource from this cookbook is now shipping as part of Chef 14. With the inclusion of this resource into Chef itself we are now deprecating this cookbook. It will continue to function for Chef 13 users, but will not be updated.
This cookbook provides resource for easily creating and managing swap files.
- Debian / Ubuntu derivatives
- RHEL and derivatives
- Fedora
- openSUSE / SUSE Linux Enterprises
- Chef 12.7+
- none
Add a new swap:
swap_file '/mnt/swap' do
size 1024 # MBs
end
Or remove an existing one:
swap_file '/mnt/swap' do
action :remove
end
Attribute | Description | Example | Default |
---|---|---|---|
path | The path to put the swap file on the system | /mnt/swap | |
size | The size (in MBs) for the swap file | 2048 | |
persist | Persist the swapon | true | false |
timeout | Timeout for dd/fallocate | 600 | 600 |
If you're using berkshelf, add swap
to your Berksfile
:
cookbook 'swap'
Otherwise, install the cookbook from the community site:
knife cookbook site install swap
Have any other cookbooks depend on this cookbook by adding it to the metadata.rb
:
depends 'swap'
Now you can use the LWRP in your cookbook!
