Expanding SSD partition.

1) stop swap: sudo swapoff -a
2) remove swap parttion, fdisk is your friend
3) make sure that initramfs is active (I suppose it is) and reboot
4) partition should be automagically resized and swap created again

[1] Resize works only if partition is at the end of the partition table

Tried this and it didn't work, but after a little more head scratching I realised that I have to hit 'w' to exit fdisk and only then are the changes made.

After that it was easy and now I have......

Code:

Disk /dev/sda: 111.8 GiB, 120034123776 bytes, 234441648 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x0999c332

Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1              63 233938030 233937968 111.6G  c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2       233938944 234441647    502704 245.5M 82 Linux swap / Solaris

So it worked! - Thank you soooo much!
