Question #78671 on Ubuntu changed:

Tom proposed the following answer:
Ok, i am really unclear about what you are trying to do and what you
want to end up with.  AP seems to be building up something quite
complicated for Ubuntu and it's unclear what he's trying to create.

70Gb is hugely excessive for linux-swap.  Normally a swap needs to be about 2 to 4 Gb but it depends on Ram
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
To find out your ram open a linux terminal and type

free -m

and this will show the ram memory and the swap space available.  Also it
would be good if you could run

sudo fdisk -l

note the "-l" is a lower-case "-L" and putting the output from that into
here might help us see what's going on with all your partitions except
that it doesn't really help tell us how large your partitions are.  For
that it would be helpful to open gparted and just copy down the sizes
beside the results of fdisk.  To open Gparted go up to the top taskbar
and click on

System - Administration - Partition Editor

I really think that ActionParsnip is making this far too complicated
although he is doubtlessly doing something quite amazing, whatever it
is.  Now that i have re-read your question I think we can fairly easily
just re-arrange your partitions a bit to give a lot more room to Ubuntu
:)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
