I just added a logical volume for swap space,how can I disable this swap space from being activated at system startup and just activate it as I wish

Hi,
just comment out entry for addition swap in /etc/fstab
but make sure that the primary swap still there.
and when you want to use that swap using swapon command.

In /etc/fstab add:
/dev/vg00/lvol13 ... swap pri=2 0 0
swapon -a
swapinfo

Hi again:
comment out entry and reboot

You can activate swap on the fly, but you cannot deactivate it on the fly, a reboot is needed.
