after lvextend making the added space active. How to do this

i have created a physical volume, then add this physical volume in existing volume group. Then i have extended a logical volume in this volume group by adding the 9GB space in it. This volume group is a SWAP vol grp. It is showing the new size after adding space but on OS level when i see the swap space usinf "free" command it is showing the old swap size. please help.........regards.....Adeel

HAQBAHU,

After creating new swap space as mentioned above (mkswap etc), you will have to add to /etc/fstab (this will ensure it is available next reboot), then swapon -a.

swapon -s will show mounted swap files.
