Changing Linux swap partition

Question

I want to change the swap partition to another partition. Is there a gui that can make this process easier so I don't have to do things like manually editing files?

Answer 1

This is in case you don't find a GUI method,
If you read through a bit of the process, you will find the terminal method quite flexible and easy.

Here is the Ubuntu page on Swap FAQ.
Look at the 'swapoff', 'mkswap' and 'swapon' commands and '/etc/fstab' handling notes to get a hang of the sequence.

Also note (from that page):
With the 2.6 kernel, "a swap file is just as fast as a swap partition."
^{Which means that you don't need to lock down a partition for swap space; you can tune it locally in a data partition as a swap-file.}

Answer 2

Use Parted Magic LiveCD. Download it from here, burn it to a CD and go.
