Create Swap

December 29, 2010 by Igor Drobot Leave a Comment

I decide me to use LVM for the most server that I have, its very flexible and you can every time resize and shrink your partitions.

Use swap area as LVM was a little bit tricky:
Create a swap partition with parted or your favorite one.

# -L flag creates a label for your device
mkswap -L swap /dev/vdc1
swapon -a
cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=swap      none            swap    sw              0       0

# -L flag creates a label for your device mkswap -L swap /dev/vdc1 swapon -a cat /etc/fstab LABEL=swap none swap sw 0 0
