Hi all When installing Debina a few months ago I made a mistake in creating the swap. I intended to create a 2GB swap but I seem to have zilch.
Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sda1 0+ 5 6- 48163+ de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 * 6 2555 2550 20482875 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 2556 2556 1 8032+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 2557 14592 12036 96679170 83 Linux I need to increase sda3 at the expense of sda4. I can backup to another machine and use parted to resize but then grub will I presume not be able to boot as it will be pointing at an incorrect place on the hard disk for the kernel to boot. I have been googling for things like "repartition replace running kernel" as I remember something like mounting the new disk, swap to the old kernel, run grub to reinstall. There was I think some trick to doing this. Does anyone have a link I can follow or help?
