As an IBM mainframer, brought up to always isolate application from system components, I

pertinent for those of us still using rotating storage). (Ideally, I should have a
separate volume for swap, but in that respect I'm cheating by using a partition on my
system volume.)

<slight rant> when i was doing the previously mentioned swap from a
failing MBR drive to a larger GPT drive, i thought there would be
documentation -- instructions -- as to how it can be done. searched and
searched. found people crowing how they had done it with dual boot, or
with an lvm setup, all mine's-bigger-than-yours stuff, but no simple
instructions on how to make the swap without losing data. as a result,
what should have taken half a day took almost three. annoying as all get
out. then again, the reason i didn't want to do a new install was all the
tweaks and fiddling i'd done over the years without bothering to document
any of it, so . . . </slight rant>
Hi dep,
S'Okay, probably the easiest method is to place /home on a separate
partition and then do a 'clean' install while preserving /home. Here’s
some (crappy) docs I did on the process.
