I shrunk my swap partition, how do I let linux know?
Hello,
I have been trying to make a "boot/root" disk, so I can have a
kernel boot with support for my ZIP drive, and PCMCIA->SCSI->CDROM
if possible. WOW, I can't believe how hard this is!
To make it "easier" I shrunk my swap partition size by 17 meg, and
created a "spare" ext2 partition of 17 meg.
When I boot, I see a message saying that it is adding about 50 meg
swap space. This was the OLD size, but the NEW size is about 32 meg.
I can't find any info on how to "let linux know" that my swap
partition has changes sizes.
Any info on this, as well as a more "newbie friendly" guide to
creating boot/root disks would be welcome. I figure I will start by
setting up this meg partition with everything needed to boot, and
use LILO (for now) to add it to my possible boot schemes. I am also
doing this so I can learn about EVERYTHING that linux needs to boot
up.
John
