If you delete sda3, sda4 then becomes sda3, so your Suse fstab will require |
| 17 |
changes to reflect this. In theroy, resizing what was sda4 to fill the space |
| 18 |
gained by deleting sda3 should work. |
| 19 |
I'd suggest resizing sda3 to your desired swap partition size then formatting |
| 20 |
it as swap. And then resizing sda4 to grab what space is left over. Then your |
| 21 |
Suse partition will remain sda4. |

Of course, backing up any data of importantce is highly recommended before |
| 23 |
doing anything. |
