Hi! How to disable swap on my F2-423 with TOS 5.1.33 permanently?
I do swapoff -a but after reboot it is enabled again.
Thanks

Hello, disabling the swap partition may affect the operation of your system, we do not recommend that you permanently disable the swap partition.

If you want to permanently disable the swap partition, maybe you can find a professional operation method from the Internet. I think there are some commands that can help you complete this operation.

On common linux it is swapoff -a and remove swap from /etc/fstab
But in TOS there is no record in /etc/fstab about swap, and after swapoff -a and reboot TNAS, swap is enabled again.

How to disable swap permanently on TOS?
