How do I increase the swap space in a linux compute instance?

Question

Hi, I'm using Microsoft Azure Machine Learning to train a model. The problem is that the process gets terminated. I'm almost 100% sure that it happens because I dont have enough virtual memory.

I've tried this https://azure.microsoft.com/es-es/blog/swap-space-in-windows-azure-virtual-machines-running-pre-built-linux-images-part-1/ but when I do swapon i get "insecure premissions 077, 0600 suggested". It seems that my chmod 600 is not doing the trick.

Any sugestions to increase the swap size using my file share?

Thanks
