URGENT, 4.1.13 software is also getting corrupted
After I reported that the 4.1.12 software is getting corrupted over time, I have now also experience 4.1.13 corruption. The symptoms are very simple to detect: Raidar will not show the firmware ...

Linux isn't windows, and doesn't demand swap space.
My duo and NV+ are stock (256 MB).
I believe nothing here is automatic, the partition structure created at the time of install determines the swap space.
If the extra memory you added was to increase RAID performance, than it is simply disk caching (which is not swapped). If you added a lot of applications, you might have also increased the memory load of the system.
Again, you can see how much swap space you have, and how much is in use by simply running free (which requires ssh of course).
Though there are some posts from folks who discovered that their memory upgrades stopped working properly in some of the new releases (4.1.10 and later) - viewtopic.php?t=69648, viewtopic.php?t=66897 If you still have stock memory, maybe try reinstalling that? Though your symptoms appear to be different.
