| Oct 24, 2017 at 17:27 | comment | added | mberg | yes, but even if the swap file moves in size like yours, shouldn't it be reset to some default size on reboot? | |
| Oct 21, 2017 at 23:00 | comment | added | Paul Wagland | @mberg My swap regularly moves from 4-8gb and back. Your situation may well be different though. | |
| Oct 21, 2017 at 7:25 | comment | added | mberg | Thanks for a thorough answer! Since I'm not using Time Machine it leaves us with the Swap, I guess. But shouldn't the Swap be more stable in size(s)? I know that some apps consume much disk space (Swap?) while working on them. But If I use apps in a way that I have done before High Sierra, and it by that time didn't increase its disk space usage in a un-normal way - it should perhaps be in a similar way now - which it isn't. And even if the disk space usage change for my apps, I would regain that space after a reboot... | |
