Hi all,

I have a corrupt EXT4 filesystem where fsck.ext4 fails with the error
message:

Error storing directory block information (inode=366740508, block=0,
num=406081): Memory allocation failed

/dev/vg_data/lv_mpg: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
e2fsck: aborted

/dev/vg_data/lv_mpg: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****

The system has 4GB of memory and a 8GB swap partition. The filesystem has
7TB. Is there a quick way to enlarge the swap space to help fsck.ext4 to
finish the repair? I do not have any unused partitions but have space for
swap on other filesystems if that is possible.
