usage: magiskswap <COMMAND> <VALUE> [OPTIONAL]
create <size: GB> [priority] [preserve]

swappiness <0-200> [show] [reset]
- Controls how agressively Linux swaps anonymous memory
vfs-cache-pressure <1-∞> [show] [reset]
- Controls the tendency of the kernel to reclaim the memory
(?) These commands are presistent across reboots (?)
- Using on-disk
swapon eMMC/UFS flash chips is not recomended and could result in highly reduced lifespan. - This project could be used as the last resort on devices suffering from extreme memory pressure
Before tinkering with swappiness and vfs-cache-pressure, you should understand how do they work:
- Magisk 27.O
- KernelSU v0.9.4
