Re: swap space on linux
Before you go out and create this massive a swap area.
free
Post the output.
If you make a 100 GB swap area, and don't have enough memory, having this much swap space is not going to hep anything.
What is system memory? You should if you have 50 GB of ram not need 100 GB of swap space.
The old rules on this sizing do not apply to new systems with lots and lots and LOTS of RAM.

Re: swap space on linux
yes, you can extend your swap space online.
And i also agree with what SEP has said.
think before if you really need this much of swap space. Its not always prove that lager the swap you have it will add performance to your system(some times it will degrade your systems performance)
What i would do is ondemand add swap to the system by using dd.
Good Luck...!

Re: swap space on linux
no, it's not about extending, it's about adding a new swap device
