expand the SWAP memory in PROXMOX

[tirk]

Why do you want to resize it? If you don't want more swap, what do you want? You can just create VMs on the LVM, and PLEASE read the links we gave you. Everything is in there.

PROMOX had it on a 320GB disk then I cloned the disk on a 480 SSD and now I have 160 GB without format.
I'll try to see if I can since I don't have much experience in Linux, THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP RECEIVED

This is what worked just fine for me as my local data volume is not something I use..
