    1. # swapoff -v </dev/<volume group>/<swap logical volume>
  2. Resize the logical volume.
    1. # lvresize </dev/<volume group>/<swap logical volume> -L +<SIZE>G
  3. Format the new swap space.
    1. # mkswap </dev/<volume group>/<swap logical volume>
  4. Enable the swap space.
    1. # swapon -v </dev/<volume group>/<swap logical volume>
