mhm, now you create a New partition with 457G size

rockmonstr 2022-07-20 21:21:19
just use a swapfile
cubementore 2022-07-20 21:21:44
he already mkswap-ed his / so that’s not an option
rockmonstr 2022-07-20 21:22:18
mkfs.ext4 again

Samad83 2022-07-20 21:28:42
Samad83 2022-07-20 21:23:44

cubementore 2022-07-20 21:29:34

Samad83 2022-07-20 21:30:01
After choosing primary not i am going there automatically
cubementore 2022-07-20 21:30:13

cubementore 2022-07-20 21:30:34

cubementore 2022-07-20 21:30:48

Samad83 2022-07-20 21:31:34
cubementore 2022-07-20 21:30:48
any free space appeared in the table?

cubementore 2022-07-20 21:32:46

Hah so interesting
cubementore 2022-07-20 21:34:36
perfect
C0rn3j 2022-07-20 21:34:41
Now you can create swap with the rest of the free space.
lovycasper 2022-07-20 21:35:02
You can also use swap as file instead of partition
cubementore 2022-07-20 21:35:04
now press n once, press Enter, and you should see that Free space changes to /dev/sda2
Samad83 2022-07-20 21:35:19
Devsda space shows 457g but free space 0
cubementore 2022-07-20 21:36:27
its fine, its not formatted (yet)
Samad83 2022-07-20 21:36:35
cubementore 2022-07-20 21:35:04
now press n once, press Enter, and you should see that Free space changes to /dev/sda2
