 +==== Extending a Logical Swap Volume ====

 +Extending a swap volume is slightly different, as the "--resizefs" flag will not work.

 +  - Example: Specify the total size of the logical swap volume<code bash>lvextend --size 8G /dev/vglocal/lvswap /dev/sdb1</code>
 +  - Disable all swap<code bash>swapoff -a</code>
 +  - Create a new swap area, overwriting the original<code bash>mkswap /dev/vglocal/lvswap</code>
 +  - Enable swap<code bash>swapon -a</code>
 +  - Verify<code bash>swapon -s</code>
