Never had the problem.   And, I'm guessing, if it were generally that
bad as you experienced there would be much more of a revolt going on.

That was explained to you in another message.  Like it or not....that is
the way it is....

Don't run Windows.  And I'm not a liquor snob.

Well. you are 100% WRONG in that regard. 

I did use the graphical version of anaconda and I created RAID1 **AND**
lvm exactly as you had requested.  So, sorry to burst your bubble.  
Maybe you need to look more closely on the options available to you?

> So I can't resize my awfull swap using this!

Well, too bad then. 
Best of luck then....  If you don't have lvm then probably your only
alternative is to turn swap off, delete the swap partition, create a new
smaller partition and enable it.  But, since you're not using lvm the
space that was freed may not be so easy to use elsewhere.

I suppose if you'd actually show your "df" and other information you
could get better help.

Sorry....  Not a Scotch Snob.   Still find it humorous that folks think
single-malt equates to better.  But I like my Jack and even my Kirland
Gin.   After 43 years of Jack and other and not going blind I think I'm
safe.  :-)
