I erred in setting up my F30 system. Since the notebook has 4GB memory, the install set up swap of 4GB.
This is not enough. I have two options. Add more memory (which will take more electrons to support), or enlarge swap. Of course more swapping even to an SSD will probably use more electrons (this is about battery life).
So the question for now is can I shrink partition 4-5 (why did the install do it this way?) and expand swap, or is this just too risky and just go with more memory.
In searching, have you found https://access.redhat.com/articles/1196333%C2%A0 for example?
My search foo is weak. I missed this. Thanks.
I've never had the need to do it. But if I did I'd first practice on a VM. :-)
Well, I would have to put the drive in a USB/sata adapter and run this on another system. That does seem reasonable.
Actually I have seen the resizing used a lot in the Fedora and CentOS arm images. You dd the base image then resize them larger. I do this frequently, so I can experiment with Fedora arm images first. Instead of just enlarging, also reduce and move them.
Well, first put in an additional 4GB memory, then play around with enlarging swap.
