It turns out that the guided install left a bunch of free space at the end of the disk, so I could expand my swap after all. # gpart show => 0 29886192 ada0 VTOC8 (14G) 0 27262368 1 freebsd-ufs (13G) 27262368 1492848 2 freebsd-swap (729M) 28755216 1130976 - free - (552M) Why does the installer leave that space anyway?
