In a number of RH Enterprise 1.4.0 systems I created a swap logical partition with the logical parameters : eds7:/root] # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 146.1 GB, 146163105792 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17769 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 10 80293+ de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 * 11 272 2104515 b W95 FAT32 /dev/sda3 273 297 200812+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 298 17769 140343840 5 Extended /dev/sda5 298 17635 139267453+ 8e Linux LVM --- Logical volume --- LV Name /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 VG Name VolGroup00 LV UUID 6Y3fjH-B0E1-2Hzp-53yC-a2VH-6fkG-LdltyX LV Write Access read/write LV Status available # open 1 LV Size 15.62 GB Current LE 500 Segments 1 Allocation inherit Read ahead sectors auto - currently set to 256 Block device 253:5 from anaconda : #logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=16000 We have a disaster recovery machine , which should be configured similarily.
