- If you're talking about device swap only, and not file system swap, yes.
- You need to rebuild the file system (if on a 300/400/700) to be larger
- and the swap area to be smaller, or rearrange the partitions on the disk
- (if on an 800). There's no clean way to do this without rebuilding the
- disk.
