I think I need more swap space. Can I add free space to my swap partition without without destroying the data partition?
I have a 1.5 TB disk, with 650 GB for the OS as sda1, and a 2 GB swap partition as sda5.
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 90593 727688241 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 90594 91201 4883760 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 90594 91201 4883728+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/etc/fstab
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=58cbf81c-
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=2b274bf9-
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,
I would think I would boot from the live CD, use fdisk to enlarge sda5, but I don't see an option to add space in the fdisk menu. So what tool would I use for this?

P.S. - sda2 and sda5 appear to be the same section of disk. Why two names and partition types for that slice?
