Re: [cobalt-users] Swap partition question

[Jim Popovitch <jimpop@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have done this (remotely too), but only after a fresh OS install.  I
started 2 or 3 ssh sessions and then basically shutdown all processes
from /etc/init.d/.  Then I created the directory /home2 and copied
everything in /home into /home2.  (I used mc to do this, you can also
use cp -r ....).  Finally I umounted /home and moved /home2 to /home.
Basically all I was doing was moving all secondary partitions to the
root partition.  Obviously this is easier with a fresh OS. 
Alternatively you could move the data to another disk, etc.  Once I had
moved all partitions to the first partition, I used cfdisk to
repartition, paying special attention to not disturb the first
partition (or any other ones that had data).

Btw, I did all this because I increased the server memory to 256MB and
the original swap was only 128MB.

The above is basically an overview, if you would post the output of
these commands I (and others here) could be more specific.
  
   mount
   df -k
   fdisk -l /dev/hda
   fdisk -l /dev/hdc
