Re: [Xen-users] Do I need to specify swap parition for domU?

[Jason <fearthepenguin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

specify the swap LV just like you did the root LV.  As far as your guest 
knows, its a disk or partition just like another other LV you export. 
Then once you are in the DomU,  add a swap line pointing to that disk in 
your /etc/fstab
ie   /dev/hda2      swap         swap   defaults        0     0

then just
mkswap /dev/hda2
swapon -a
