There is a performance penalty for doing this tho. If performance is critical on your server, creating or enlarging a ``proper'' raw swap parition would be preferable. If you want to enlarge it, it is probably possible to just alter the size of the swap parition and correspondingly shrink the size of the parition following it on the drive ... the following partition will need to be re-newfs'd though.
