Hello pals . I had to delete the swap partition to resize my root partition /dev/sda5 , now I created a new swap partition, but How do I tell fedora that use it as swap?
/dev/sda6 is my new sawp partition
It's actually very simple. First, you need to edit /etc/fstab to replace the UUID of your old swap partition with that of the new one. After saving and exiting, sudo swapon -a will activate it.

24GB swap, wow! Don't you think that's waste of space, especially since you have a lot of ram (16) and a not so large SSD. Did you consider using a swap file instead?
Actually I will delete it and create another one on the sdb(1.8T hard drive)
