	As we did with the cherry host earlier we need to configure the hardware changes that have been made on the basic specification like adding the Lexar HD as the swap file. ~~The fast config~~ of the swap is to ~~initialize~~ the partition as swap, ~~enable~~ the swap ~~immediately and add~~ to /etc/fstab for ~~persistence~~		As we did with the cherry host earlier we need to configure the hardware changes that have been made on the basic specification like adding the Lexar HD as the swap file. We must stop using the swap partition on the primary drive so we can move it out of the way. Turn off all swap.
			sudo swapoff -a
			Since your swap partition (sda3) is at the end of the disk, it acts as a "blocker." We need to delete it and the root partition, then recreate the root partition to fill the entire space.
			sudo fdisk /dev/sda
			* Type p to print the table (confirming sda2 is root and sda3 is swap).
			* Type d then 3 to delete the swap partition.
			* Type d then 2 to delete the root partition (Don't worry, the data stays in the blocks).
			* Step B: Recreate and Expand
			* Type n for a new partition.
			* Type p for Primary. Note if disk is using a GPT (GUID Partition Table) there will be no P option, primary partitions only exist in the old MBR style of disks
			* Type 2 for Partition number 2.
			* Press Enter for the default Start Sector (it must match the old start sector of sda2).
			* Press Enter for the default End Sector (this will now jump to the end of the 150GB disk).
			* CRITICAL: When it asks "Do you want to remove the signature?", type N.
			* Type w to write changes and exit.
			Now, reboot to make sure the kernel is looking at the new 150GB table entry.
			sudo systemctl reboot
			Once you log back in, expand the actual data "container" (the ext4 filesystem) to fill that new partition:
			sudo resize2fs /dev/sda2
			Now that the main drive is expanded, let's get that high-speed swap set up on your 16GB secondary disk.
			sudo mkswap /dev/sdb
			sudo swapon /dev/sdb
			We need to update /etc/fstab so your VM knows where to find its memory "safety net" on every boot.
			sudo nano /etc/fstab
			Look for the line that mentions the old swap (it likely mentions sda3 or a long UUID string). Delete that line or put a # at the start of it. Add this new line at the bottom:
			/dev/sdb none swap sw 0 0
			Save and exit. Then to confirm the changes have been made use the following commands to show the new sda2 disk size and the swap disk
			df -h
			free -h
