So you would like to add more swap space in Redhat 7 or Centos 7 after installation. Sometimes it is necessary to add more swap space after installation. For example, you may upgrade the amount of RAM in your system from 512 MB to 1026 MB, but there is only 512 MB of swap space. It might be advantageous to increase the amount of swap space to 1026 MB if you perform memory-intense operations or run applications that require a large amount of memory. It is recommended that you extend an existing logical volume.
