Comment (by robe):

 whoops that didn't work.

 the fallocate kept on creating an 8GB swap file. so switched to something
 I found listed which seems to make the doc build move

 {{{
 swapoff -a
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap bs=1024 count=1048576
 chmod 0600 /swap
 mkswap /swap
 swapon /swap
 }}}

 I'm not sure if debbie ever had a swap space, I talked to atlantic about
 this and their comment:


 {{{
 By default out Cloud Servers normally do not have a swap or swapfile
 added. I believe on some of the newer Debian/Ubuntu servers, we did for a
 short time have a swapfile added, but this was removed so everything is
 kept the same (ie: no swap). You are more than welcome to add a swap file
 if that helps performance, but there are some applications that do not do
 well with swap, like some Java apps, which is why it is off by default. I
 hope this helps explain what you were seeing. Let us know if we can be of
 any further assistance.
 }}}

 So it could be she had one before and things went south when it was taken
 out or she's never had one and something is amiss.
