New HAOS install created a 11gb swapfile resulting in no space left to restore a backup

I believe this is a bug as I’m using a Fujitsu S740 to run HAOS and it has 4gb ram. But still the HAOS installation with Ether resulted in a 11gb swapfile and therefore causing a 92% disk usage even with a fresh HAOS install.

In onboarding, I tried to restore the backup but I didn’t get any error messages but it clearly didn’t restore.
Backup size is just 16mb but I believe the reason it fails is that there isn’t enough space.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I will now research how to reduce that swapfile. I’m a newbie with HAOS and also kind of newbie with linux.

I could see the swapfile using a live Ubuntu USB.

I tried following this guide, and failed to install the Advanced SSH & Web Terminal as I don’t have the free space.

How to increase the swap file size on Home Assistant OS

Increasing the swapfile size (especially on a USB SSD attached to my test RPi 3B) is pretty typical when trying to get a Linux box to perform and generally be more stable… After hanging around on this GitHub issue and watching the progress, I believe there’s a simple and repeatable way to increase the swapfile size. This solution will survive reboots and upgrades. You also never have to actually open the shell itself. Please keep in mind that this is strictly for HA OS not Raspberry Pi OS aka…
