How to add the secondary swap to /etc/fstab

[amreek bansal]

Hi..I have setup a secondary swap, I just need to know whats the correct syntax to add it to /etc/fstab, so it gets picked up on reboot.

From what Ive seen and read, I have put

/dev/vgsw/myswap swap pri=X 0 0

It doesnt like correct to me, am I missing some syntax ??
Thanks.

Hello,

this is an example from fstab(1m) manpage:

/dev/vg01/lv10 / swap defaults 0 0

the directory field can be whatever you like, since it is ignored. Sometimes, three periods are entered in this field:

/dev/vg01/lv10 ... swap defaults 0 0

HTH,
J.

Hi,

It should be like this..

/dev/vg01/swaplv . swap defaults 0 0

Hi Amreek,

kmsrprdb:/#strings /etc/fstab |grep swap
/dev/vg00/lvolswap2 ... swap pri=1 0 0

Hi, Bansal

# echo "/dev/vg11/lvol1 ... swap pri=0 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
is the procedure to add the swap logical volume created on the /etc/fstab.

prior to this, after swap logical volume is created do # swapon -p 0 /dev/vg11/lvol1

where /dev/vg11/lvol1 is the logical volume created for the server.

Hi,

To creating device swap 1st we have to check the value of maxswapchunks
current value will allow for more swap or not then
Create a swap volume

#lvcreate -l (size) -n swap123 -C y -r n /dev/vgxx

Then enable swap:

#swapon -p 1 /dev/vgxx/swap123

Then add the entry in the fstab file

/dev/vgxx/swap123 /default swap pri=1
