Increasing swap partition
 
Is it possible to increase swap space on RH Linux 7.3
without reinstalling it.

thanks

Yeah you can either increase the size of the partition it resides on which can be a hassle or you can create another swap with the mkswap command.

man mkswap for more details.

If you can't repartition then you can always create a swap file. linux can use multiple swaps.

On a side note, how big is your current swap partition ? What is the reason you need additional swap space ?
