Reducing Swap on an LVM2 Logical Volume


To reduce an LVM2 swap logical volume (assuming /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 is the volume you want to extend): Replace /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 with your HD partition.
  1. Disable swapping for the associated logical volume:
    # swapoff -v /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
  2. Reduce the LVM2 logical volume by 512 MB:
    # lvm lvreduce /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 -L -512M
  3. Format the new swap space:
    # mkswap /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01
  4. Enable the extended logical volume:
    # swapon -va
  5. Test that the logical volume has been reduced properly:
    # cat /proc/swaps or # free
     
     
     
    !Enjoy
