# lvm lvcreate VolGroup00 -n LogVol02 -L 256M - Format the new swap space:
# mkswap /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 - Add the following entry to the
/etc/fstabfile:/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 swap swap defaults 0 0 - Enable the extended logical volume:
# swapon -va - Test that the logical volume has been extended properly:
# cat /proc/swaps # free
