That's a follow-up from the GR decision, to include firmware in the installation images, I think. For the test image, I took the daily netinst image from yesterday and just replaced the partman-auto and partman-auto-lvm udebs. In other words, the latest netinst images are that big! > > Screenshots from tests with 4 different disk sizes are at the same URL as > > above. > > As can be seen, /boot is 1G of size in most cases, even on a 10G disk. > > I guess that not how it's supposed to be? > > Actually it is: parted shows that the exact /boot size with atomic/home > on 10GiB (10.73GB) is 1001MB and is the expected result per the > specification algorithm.

Maybe something should be changed. Otherwise, we can skip the whole calculation for /boot completely: if /boot reaches its maximum on a 10G disk (which is near at the absolute minimum disk size these days) we should better go with a fixed size of 1G for /boot (and ESP).
