/swap volume when increasing /stand

[CJENSEN_1]

We are upgrading 10.20 to 11.11. The manual notes increasing /stand (which we have to do). it mentions to create a new contiguous /swap volume. Is this a file system swap or a device swap? How do you tell if it is contiguous and that there is no bad block relocation? thanks.

Its device swap, not filesystem swap.

Use lvdisplay to find out whether a logical volume is contiguous and/or has bad-block relocation enabled.

e.g:

lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol1 #(usually /stand)
lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol2 #(usually /swap)
lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol3 #(usually /)

a) Device swap
b) Use "lvdisplay" (example : /dev/vg00/lvol2)

# lvdisplay /dev/vg00/lvol2|grep -E 'Bad|Allocation'
Bad block off
Allocation strict/contiguous
