Join two swap partitions
Is it possible? I've a Suse 9.0 with two swap partitions, the second originated from the need to have more swap space, now I've 1Gb but Oracle Forms&Reports wants more.
I've tried to resize the swap partition with GpartEd but it wasn't allowed so I created a new one hoping to join it to the old one. How can I do ? Thanks Rob |
Are the swap partitions next to each other in the partition table? If they are, delete the two and create a new swap partition taking up the full space.

linux can use multiple swap partitions so no need to attempt to resize. Just add another swap entry to your /etc/fstab using the new partition. Be sure to format it first.
mkswap /dev/hdx (Use its real partition ID) to activate now. swapon /dev/hdx The top or free command should show total swap space as the sum of both partitions. |
