Arg. the Install did not default a swap partition so I forgot to work it in when I divided the drive as I wanted...
I am using EXT4 for my / /boot /home partitions. Just plain partitioning. Been doing it this way for lots of builds.
But this time, I missed setting aside 16Gb as a physical swap partition, added to the memory swap. This system only has 16Gb memory, so the virtual swap starts out at 8Gb.
Since /dev/sdb4, /home is the last 800Gb with 500Gb unused, is there any way to safely shrink this partition 16Gb and then allocate that as swap?
thanks
