      Rule 3: SD CARD CORRUPTION

      Rookie mistake. Next time store your swapfile on Google Drive so it’s their problem!

        You joke, but I did something like that. I NFS mounted a disk off my desktop to a RPi. I then made a swap file on the NFS file system.

        I could then build a C++ project directly on the RPi because the build normally hit RAM limits. This was a 1st gen RPi, so it had 256MB RAM.

        The build took forever (many days), but the program ran fine once built.
