X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2005 11:35:17 -0000 I just upgraded my laptop from 512MB to 1024MB memory. It is said that the /swap partition has to be at least as much as the = maximum available memory, but my current value is still based on the old = 512MB size. Can I increase the size of the existing swap partition or do I have to = create a new one? If I have to create a new one, how do I do this and = how can I reclaim the unused old swap area? Thanks alot in advance. -------------------------------------------- Kiffin Gish Gouda, The Netherlands
