Thanks Mike but the manual expects you to reboot to make the new disk available. Not always an option. It is the naming that I'm having trouble with.

SWAPGEN makes the swap space. If you have it in /etc/fstab, as with any other swap space, it will be turned on as part of normal Linux bootup. (doing that is described on page 106 of "z/VM and Linux on IBM System z The Virtualization Cookbook for RHEL 5.2", SG24-7492, on the Web at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247492.html) Also section 12.1 on page 181 describes adding a logical volume, then extending it. Hope this helps.
