QuestionQ3

Server administration

A new, memory-intensive application will be deployed on a Linux server. The server uses old hardware. Its memory capacity barely satisfies the new application's minimum requirement, and no additional memory can be installed. LVM is in use on the server. Which of the following actions would partially mitigate the lack-of-memory issue?

Explanation

Additional swap space provides disk-backed virtual memory when physical RAM is exhausted. It can partially relieve memory pressure, although it is much slower than RAM; enlarging unrelated filesystems does not add available memory.
