[SOLVED] GParted: Reducing Swap & Increasing ext3

[Elfy]

Yea that would be why there is no RESUME=

Does fstab reference it as /dev/sdxy if so that's fine, just so long as it is there in one way or the other it should be ok.

fstab's swap line: /dev/sdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0



now to reboot!

Worked a charm, except conky says I have no swap.
I'll tackle that tomorrow, got some drinking to do..

Thanks everyone, the cheques are in the mail!

[Elfy]

my fstab line reads

UUID=number none swap sw 0 0

but as long as free -m reports it's there that's good

No drink for me it's 10am lol

[epidemiks]

erm, i've had several drinks, but free -m says

Swap: 0 0 0

everything seems to be operating as per normal, but conky still reports no swap.
I'm beginning to fear the worst.

[Elfy]

Unfortunately everything is not operating normally - at least swap isn't

Try

sudo swapon -a

Then free -m again, should be different.

Glad you've had a drink - I still haven't

[epidemiks]

oh, the drink was purely in preparation for this!
it's still giving me the old UUID when I sudo swapon -a

swapon: cannot canonicalize /dev/disk/by-uuid/1553f7e3-1410-469d-9207-c8914814739a: No such file or directory
swapon: cannot stat /dev/disk/by-uuid/1553f7e3-1410-469d-9207-c8914814739a: No such file or directory

ahhh, fstab actually does still reference the old UUID.

"UUID=1553f7e3-1410-469d-9207-c8914814739a none swap sw 0 0"

I though that what I was looking at when in the livecd was the real fstab - clearly not..

"sudo gedit etc/fstab" + update with new UUID + "sudo swapon -a" = win!

Swap: 2062 0 2062


I think you deserve that drink forestpixie!! thanks again

cotcot, does that just backup/sync files that have changed? thats pretty much what I'm looking for.

Yes, thats is through. That is what is called incremental backup.

In my laptop, gparted disables Resize/Move functions. I don't how to enable them although the free space remains over 2GB.
