Hi,

Normally, the first swap (by default) is /dev/vg00/lvol2 and the additional swap logical volume on your system is /dev/vg00/lvol9.

But from the output (swapinfo -a), you can see that both swap logical volume set as 1, so this mean both swap will work together since the priority given are the same.

Check the manpage of swapinfo for more details :

# man swapinfo

Hope this information can help you.

Cheers,
AW

What do you mean by primary? By default /dev/vg00/lvol2 is the primary swap space however all swap devices and file systems enabled for swap have a priority between 0 to 10, indicating the order that swap space from a device or file system is used.

hi ,

Primary swap is always /dev/vg00/lvol2 , which is created at the time of system installation .

Hi Mukkala,

Primary swap is usually /dev/vg00/lvol2.
You can change it by command:

lvlnboot -s swap_lv

Where swap_lv should be the primary swap volume the next time the system is booted on the volume group. swap_lv must be a contiguous logical volume, and a root logical volume must have been previously defined with this command. The previously defined swap area must be removed with lvrmboot.

Regards,
Borislav

You can change the priority of swap devices if desired. You may want to use 'sam' or try the 'swapon' command.

"primary" swap can be displayed with a lvlnboot -v vg00
