The instructions below worked for me and the created extra swap space (not as much as desired but I can fix that)
~>swapon -s Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/zram0 partition 8388604 390584100 /swapfile file 65532 0 -2
What do you mean by this may not be necessary. Is there a better way to increase the swap space ?

One reason this could happen is if you're trying to create the swapfile on a btrfs filesystem. In that case you'll need to disable copy-on- write on that file first:
- truncate -s 0 /swapfile
- chattr +C /swapfile
- dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
- chmod 600 /swapfile
- mkswap /swapfile
- swapon /swapfile
However, all of this this may not be necessary, since recent releases of Fedora have zram swap enabled by default anyway.
