一、添加swap空间:
1、扩展一个现有的swap空间:
<1>、首先禁止正在使用的swap空间:
   [root@server4 ~]# swapoff /dev/mapper/tools-swap
   <2>、重新 resize /dev/mapper/tools-swap:
   [root@server4 ~]# lvm lvresize /dev/tools/swap -L +300M
  Extending logical volume swap to 500.00 MB
  Logical volume swap successfully resized
<3>、使用mkswap重新格式化:
  [root@server4 ~]# mkswap /dev/tools/swap
  Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 524283 kB
   <4>、启用 swap:
  [root@server4 ~]# swapon -av
  swapon on /dev/mapper/tools-swap
   <5>查看swap大小:
  [root@server4 ~]# cat /proc/swaps
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/dev/sda3                               partition       1044216 0       -2
/dev/mapper/tools-swap                  partition       511992  0       -4
[root@server4 ~]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           194        172         21          0         19         78
-/+ buffers/cache:         75        119
Swap:         1519          0       1519
2、添加一个新的swap空间(基于LVM):
   [root@server4 ~]# lvm lvcreate tools -n swap1 -L 100M
  Logical volume "swap1" created
   [root@server4 ~]# mkswap /dev/tools/swap1
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 104853 k
   更改/etc/fstab文件,加入/dev/tools/swap1。
  启用新创建的swap空间:
  [root@server4 ~]# swapon -av
swapon on /dev/mapper/tools-swap1
[root@server4 ~]# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           194        173         20          0         19         78
-/+ buffers/cache:         75        118
Swap:         1619          0       1619
3、创建swap文件:
  [root@server4 /]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1k count=102400
102400+0 records in
102400+0 records out
104857600 bytes (105 MB) copied, 1.23157 seconds, 85.1 MB/s
[root@server4 /]# mkswap /swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 104853 kB
[root@server4 /]# swapon /swapfile
在/etc/fstab文件里加入下行:
/swapfile          swap            swap    defaults        0 0
二、删除swap空间:
1、减小一个swap空间:
[root@server4 /]# swapoff /dev/mapper/tools-swap
[root@server4 /]# lvm lvreduce /dev/tools/swap -L -400M
  WARNING: Reducing active logical volume to 100.00 MB
  THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR DATA (filesystem etc.)
Do you really want to reduce swap? [y/n]: y
  Reducing logical volume swap to 100.00 MB
  Logical volume swap successfully resized
[root@server4 /]# mkswap /dev/tools/swap
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 104853 kB
[root@server4 /]# swapon -va
swapon on /dev/mapper/tools-swap
[root@server4 /]# lvs
  LV    VG    Attr   LSize   Origin Snap%  Move Log Copy%  Convert
  swap  tools -wi-ao 100.00M                                     
  swap1 tools -wi-ao 100.00M
2、删除一个基于LVM的swap:
[root@server4 /]# swapoff /dev/tools/swap1
[root@server4 /]# lvm lvremove /dev/tools/swap1
Do you really want to remove active logical volume "swap1"? [y/n]: y
  Logical volume "swap1" successfully removed
然后将其从/etc/fstab文件里删除即可。
3、删除一个swap文件:
[root@server4 /]# swapoff -v /swapfile
[root@server4 /]# rm -rf /swapfile
