If you delete sda3, sda4 then becomes sda3, so your Suse fstab will require changes to reflect this. In theroy, resizing what was sda4 to fill the space gained by deleting sda3 should work. I'd suggest resizing sda3 to your desired swap partition size then formatting it as swap. And then resizing sda4 to grab what space is left over. Then your Suse partition will remain sda4. Of course, backing up any data of importantce is highly recommended before doing anything. -jm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
