I am going to install Oracle XE on Ubuntu, for which I require 1 GB of swap. I already have 512 MB of swap space. I intend to add a 1GB swap partition. Can I do it to an xisting install? Say, by creating the partition and adding the corresponding entry to fstab?
Sure you can do it. Extend your 512 MB partition to 1GB using GParted. and add the /dev/<devicename> in fstab and use it.
FYI: you can also make ur 512 MB parition to act as swap for temporary purpose using command.
swapon /dev/<device-name>
