Server operating system version

AlmaLinux 8.10

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.64 Update #1

The article

https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12377139666455-What-is-pleskswap-file-used-for-on-a-Plesk-server

suggests:

"Note: after Plesk installation /pleskswap can be removed manually."

How is this accomplished?

rm /pleskswap
results in
rm: cannot remove '/pleskswap': Operation not permitted

Hello, @tho . Could you please double-check /etc/fstab and confirm if pleskswap is mounted, e.g. pleskswap none swap sw 0 0? If it is, please comment out or remove the line. Please note that if fstab is not properly edited it can lead to the server becoming non-operational, therefore, please be cautious. Then, apply the config:

mount -av

Then, disable the swap:

swapoff /pleskswap

Once done, you should be able to remove the file.

If you don't feel confident enough performing the changes, I would strongly recommend getting in touch with Plesk support, or the support of your Plesk license provider.
