I'm thinking of getting a new 80 gig hard drive for my Linux box. But before I do, i need to know how to move my swap partition. This is the current partition layout of my linux system:

dev/hda1.........FC5 Partition (EXT3)
dev/hda2.........MediaFiles (EXT3)
dev/hdb1.........Storage (EXT3)
dev/hdb2.........*Swap* (SWAP)

I was thinking maybe I could put the new HDD in my Windows machine, and use Partition Magic to create the partitions, then swap it into my Linux machine. But then Linux will need to know what partition is where on the new HDD. The whole thing seems kinda complicated, but I don't want to have to reinstall everything again. Any ideas?

well, if you have a running fedora installation its pretty easy.
1. throw the new drive in.
2. open up a console and type "cfdisk /dev/hdc"
3. make a swap partition on it.
4. quit cfdisk and type "swapoff /dev/hdb2"
5. "type swapon /dev/hdc1"
6. then edit /etc/fstab, look for /dev/hdb1 swap ** ** ** and change it to /dev/hdc1
7. Use a program called QTparted to resize your /dev/hdb1

thats it, should take you about 10 mins.

Better stick in a;
4a. "mkswap /dev/hdc1"

And personally I'd do the swapon before I attempted the swapoff - just in case ...

Thanx peeps!
