Adding Swap Space to a Linux server
Adding Swap Space
Obviously swap space is bad and should be used as a last resort to physical memory. However, there will be times when you will want to add swap space to a server that needs an additional area or an increased size due to application requirements.
The link above is a good overview of increasing the size of a logical volume that happens to be formatted as swap. I used this recently to increase the size of swap for a server from 20gb to 60gb on a Redhat 5.4 64bit server.
