You just delete the partition, grow the filesystem partition, and then recr= eate the swap partition. It also makes it easy to change the size of the swap partition. The raw disk image downloadable from freebsd.org (https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/VM-IMAGES/12.1-RELEASE/amd64/Lat= est/FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64.raw.xz) is built with: ada0p1: boot ada0p2: swap ada0p3: filesystem The primary use case (I think) for these VM images is to serve as a base im= age for a VM in a virtualization environment, which means that the vast majorit= y of users who download them will resize the partitions. They presumably will wa= nt to resize and/or delete the swap partition as well. If ada0p2 was the filesystem and ada0p3 was swap, this would be trivial. As= it is, the swap partition cannot easily be moved, resized, or deleted from a virtual disk created from this image. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
