On instances with large RAM and small root volumes (e.g. c5.metal with 192 GB RAM and 30 GB root), the swap profile attempted to create a swap file of 2x RAM (~377 GB), filling the root filesystem. Swap size is now the minimum of: - 2x total RAM (traditional rule for small instances) - 8 GB hard cap - 25% of available disk space on / Fixes #245
