Hi,

The proper way is to use lvremove.

# lvremove /dev/vg01/myswap

Hope this helps. Regards.

That won't do the trick. Launch SAM:

Disk and File Systems
Swap
Select /dev/vg01/myswap
Actions -> Remove

Hi,

Unfortunately you can't just remove swap. The
system will require a reboot to remove it
permanently.
This is how:

Comment out the line in /etc/fstab that contains your swap volume.

Reboot your system.

Remove the logical volume or re-use it.

Hi,

Yes, if this is a swap logical volume, then SAM should do the trick.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi.
First of all, you have to eliminate the input of your swap of /etc/fstab. Them, reboot your system, with it, your swap will be not active ( cause you can NOT delete any swap if is being used ), and them use lvdelete command to delete your lv swap.

I hope this clear your doubs

If the swap-lv isn't in use simply remove it using SAM or 'lvremove /dev/vg01/myswap'. You can check with swapinfo it it enabled as swap.
If it is you need or first disbale swapping on the lvol. Again you can use SAM or simply delete the line in fstab. Then a reboot is required.
