具体步骤如下:
一、扩展正在使用的swap 分区的逻辑卷
设定用作swap 分区的逻辑卷为:/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
Disable swapping for the associated logical volume:
# swapoff -v /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
Resize the LVM2 logical volume by 256 MB:
# lvm lvresize /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 -L +256M
Format the new swap space:
# mkswap /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
Enable the extended logical volume:
# swapon -va
Test that the logical volume has been extended properly:
# cat /proc/swaps 或者# free
二、新建swap 分区
设定新建的swap 分区的逻辑卷为:/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02
Create the LVM2 logical volume of size 256 MB:
# lvm lvcreate VolGroup00 -n LogVol02 -L 256M
Format the new swap space:
# mkswap /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02
Add the following entry to the /etc/fstab file:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 swap swap defaults 0 0
Enable the extended logical volume:
# swapon -va
Test that the logical volume has been extended properly:
# cat /proc/swaps 或者# free
三、新建swapfile
通过此种方式进行swap 的扩展,首先要计算出block的数目。具体为根据需要扩展的swapfile的大小,以M为单位。block=swap分区大小*1024, 例如,需要扩展64M的swapfile,则:block=64*1024=65536.
然后做如下步骤:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
Setup the swap file with the command:
mkswap /swapfile
To enable the swap file immediately but not automatically at boot time:
swapon /swapfile
To enable it at boot time, edit /etc/fstab to include the following entry:
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
After adding the new swap file and enabling it, verify it is enabled by viewing the output of the command cat /proc/swaps 或者 free.
总结:三种方法都能对swap 分区进行扩展,但是推荐使用第一种方法。
