Every evening I have a file of 6GB+ that needs some work over the night and then spitting out another file of 11GB. Previously been having a windows computer doing the job, but tested a 2GB file in the Pi5 and to my delight it worked fast, with less power and quieter. Therefore I would prefer doing the 6GB+ in the Pi5 instead. However it doesn't work. This has led me to believe that there is not enough RAM, 8GB is sort of less than 6GB + 11GB!
I understand there is a way to use the NVME SSD as a swap-file or memory paging if you prefer that wording, Windows do this automatically but not Raspberry Pi OS. Been of course searching online but I just doesn't seem to find a "good" instruction.
Kindly asking for help/suggestions in how to set up my Pi5, currently booting from the 1TB SSD (mSD not inserted) and running headless, so the 6GB+ text file can be opened recalculated and then producing a 11GB text file by running a small 605KB Rust program that has been compiled in the Pi5.
Thanks in advance
From the wiki:
In computer operating systems, memory paging (or swapping on some Unix-like systems) is a memory management scheme by which a computer stores and retrieves data from secondary storage for use in main memory. In this scheme, the operating system retrieves data from secondary storage in same-size blocks called pages. Paging is an important part of virtual memory implementations in modern operating systems, using secondary storage to let programs exceed the size of available physical memory
