<div dir="ltr">Here's a question for the pros here...<div><br></div><div>My Lenovo laptop came with a 1TB HDD, and a 16gig sSata drive. It originally shipped with Windows 8 but I eventually wiped the whole 1TB and installed Ubuntu 13.10 on it. Runs great.</div>
<div><br></div><div>One thing I noticed is that the 16gig mSata is not being used. I would like to use it a my /swap partition. As it happens, there is no swap partition on the system.</div><div><br></div><div><div>jeff@Quorra-Ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l</div>
