Also, you may need to edit /etc/fstab after booting the new machine for it to find your new swap partition. Roughly:
free # if it shows a swap size of 0, then... sudo nano /etc/fstab # find the swap line and change /dev/whatever to /dev/sda2 sudo swapon -a # activate the new swap free # check it ...assuming that after you've booted the new drive in the new machine it came up as /dev/sda rather than /dev/sdd, of course. I'm probably giving you just enough info here to be dangerous. ;-) Steve On Sat, Feb 20, 2016 at 11:05 AM, Steve Traugott <stev...@t7a.org> wrote: > Argh. Got the mkdir's wrong.
