MacOS Mojave: disabling the swap
up vote

So it seems, that after upgrading from High Sierra the swap is back in the game again. I have a mid 2014 MacBook with 16 GB of RAM. Given the fact the model ships with an SSD drive i always disable the swap since i've never met an out of memory warning and my typical workflow eats 9 to 12 GBs.
The old guidelines for turning the swap off doesn't seem to work, most likely because the paths to the swapfiles and the settings layout were renamed/moved.
Can confirm that:
csrutil disable
sudo launchctl unload -wF /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist
sudo rm /var/vm/swapfile*
csrutil enable
is not working anymore.
Does anyone know how to shut the swapping off for Mojave?
