Hello! > Is it possible to relabel partions in 2.2.8 without losing data? I want to > increase my /var and /swap partitions, with extra space from my /usr > partition. Is this possible, with no loss of data? No, it isn't. You could use an additional swap file (see FAQ) in /usr to increase paging space, and you could move a subdirectory tree from /var to /usr and then create a symbolic link back from /usr to /var to make better use of your disk space.
