| |
ok, the last 2 partitions on my drive are this..
Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1106 cylinders /dev/sda3 639 639 1101 3719047+ 83 Linux native /dev/sda4 1024 1102 1106 40162+ 82 Linux swap
is there any way I can take a chunk off the end of sda3 and then remake my sda4 to be like 128MB? Without destroying the current info on sda3.
someone suggested just making a swapFILE on sda3 instead with mkswap. would there be any performance difference? if not, could i tack my unused sda4 onto sda3 then or would i have to mount it under a specific directory to reuse it again?
Thanx,
