Hi: I have upgraded RAM on a Linux system (RHL 7.3) from 128Mb -> 256Mb.
The current swap partition (/dev/hda6) size is 256Mb. The options that I am weighing are: 1. Create another swap partition of size 256Mb mounted on /dev/hda10. 2. Create another swap partition of size 512Mb mounted on /dev/hda10. and swapoff /dev/hda6 The concerns are: a. In scenario (1), there are two partitions /dev/hda6 and /dev/hda10 over which the swap is distributed. So, the HDD head needs to move around. Would this affect performance ? b. In scenario (2), a single partition is created on /dev/hda10, which addresses my requirements. However, there is a hole created on the device /dev/hda6 (572 - 604) ! How do I reclaim it ? What would be a good approach to increase the size of the swap partition to 512 Mb ? Are there any other possible approaches ? Additionally, I don't see cfdisk installed on my RHL 7.3 Thanks for your time and consideration. Tom.
