[SunHELP] increasing swap space on the fly

[Low, Adam]

You'll need to make sure you have space on that drive to increase the size of the swap partition, the swap partition is the only partition you can safely resize without losing data, you'll probably not be able to re-size as its unlikely you have unallocated space on that disk so alternatively you can use the 'swap' command to create a swap file on another partition and add it to the overall swap.

This link should be useful for creating swap files: http://www.meangene.com/notes/swap.html
