    $ man efs. Says in the Description that the filesystem limit is 8 Gb.

    The rest of what you have to know is not about EFS but about fx!

    For now, just go into fx and give the command /repartition/resize
    and resize the swap partition so that the root partition is left
    with 8 Gb.

    It's a bit of a waste, perhaps, to allocate 1.1 Gb for swap on that
    system, but at least it will get you going.
