Anytime I've done only an fs shrink or grow with ext4, it's taken less than a minute. Two hours sounds like the partition was being moved, not just shrunk. Since ext3 doesn't use extents or preallocation it's prone to more fragmentation but 2 hours is a long time. The thing is, swap is as fundamental to the system as the root volume, so I'd be inclined to make the necessary space on the internal drive and offload other things as needed. -- Chris Murphy -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
