Dear All

Thanks very much for all, for your great information.

Now i become to know, no need to increase the swap size,
If we increase, it reflects on performance also..........Am i right?

Here i have extended the swap size up to maximum by command :
# extendlv hd6 1G

Please let me know, Can i decrease the swap size now, to bring it into original position..

Regards
Vamsi.

No... In the normal course of things, you shouldn't be actually using swap at all -- making it bigger won't make it faster or slower.

When you are using swap, making it bigger won't make it faster or slower either. Just bigger.
