Hello all,

I run all my nodes with SSDs or NVMe drives. I don't like using swap with these devices. Additionally, most of my nodes are read-only nodes. I've measured that my R/W ratio is >90%/10%. I know that many of you might want to challenge my decision on doing this, and I am happy to debate this in another thread.

But since that's the decision I am taking, what I'd like to understand is if it is possible now that my swap volume (pve-swap) is now 0, to reclaim that space and allocate it to the pve-root volume.

Code:
lsblk gives the following output:
NAME                         MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT

      └─pve-vm--101--disk--1 253:9    0    48G  0 lvm

Is it possible to reclaim pve-swap 8G and allocate it to pve-root??
Thanks in advance!
