Changing Linux Swap Space
Changing Linux Swap Space
recently, i installed Red hat Linux 8 on my Celeron 433 Mhz, 160 MB ram machine. Accidently, i created the swap space as 200 MB. now the machine works too slow . i am thinking of reinstalling the linux. i just wanted to know is there any chance of changing the swap space without reinstalling ?
Re:Changing Linux Swap Space
on any normal linux:
swapoff <device>
fdisk -> remove swap space, set up new swap space
mkswap <device>
swapon <device>
For redhat, might be impossible. Check their docs.

"upgrading" from the same installation cd can't take that long
