I bet the exam creator is just testing our ability to follow instructions to the letter, even if they don't make the most sense. Next up, they'll ask us to manually edit the /etc/fstab file. Ah, the joys of system administration!

Let's make sure we don't miss any steps, even if they seem a bit strange.

The explanation is on point, but I can't help but wonder if the exam creator is trying to trick us with a 'don't remove and modify' clause. I'll double-check everything before submitting my answer.

Hmm, the explanation looks good, but I'm wondering if there's an easier way to do this, maybe using a GUI tool instead of the command line? I'm more comfortable with that approach.

The explanation covers all the necessary steps, but I'm a bit concerned about the 'don't remove and modify the existing swap partitions' part. What if I already have an existing swap partition that I need to replace?
