Swap: 0 0 0
here Swap is mentioned zero
then you need to create partition lvm and add to swap
#lvcreate -L 16GB -n swap LVNAME
16GB is the swap size
# mkswap /dev/mapper/LVNAME-swap
then you need to enter the entry in fstab for permanent mount
#vi /etc/fstab
/dev/mapper/LVNAME-swap swap swap defaults 0 0
:wq (for saving the file)
