              Ok,
                  the result from that command is:

            I have a spare drive that is 230G, so I have enough space. I
            suppose I can set swapoff, delete the swapfile, create a new
            4G one, and set swapon. Or is there a better way?
        
      
    Linux already knows about the 1GB file; just add a 3GB swap file on
    the 230GB drive.
