can't create swap volume

[theundefined]

Currently there is no possibility to create a swap volume. Iw would be nice to add that

Do you want the lvm cookbook to be able to add newly created volumes as swap space? I use a modified version of the swap cookbook to add volumes created by lvm as swap space. I don't mount the created volume with lvm.

ideally - yes. But creating not mounted anywhere volume is enought :-)

This worked for me as of lvm 1.3.7.

lvm_logical_volume "name" do
group 'someVG'
size '100G'
end

I believe this request is already possible, as we do this by creating a logical volume without defining the filesystem, nor mount point. My company does this and attaches the volume directly into a VM.
