I'm not quite clear about the process of switching from the old swap partition to the new one, Aymeric. I expect if the machine finds itself without any swap partition at all it will die a horrible death and be completely unrecoverable except by using another machine to re-write the hard disk contents, so I don't want any risk of that. Could you explain how the hibernate command works? Is the idea that on the next start-up, the machine will switch to using the new swap partition? How can I be certain it is no longer using the old one, after the next start-up? I have to be 100% of this before deleting the old swap partition. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
