Public bug reported:
At least the server installer will make silly partitioning
recommendations when the disk size is similar to the RAM size. In my
case, 120 gigabyte hard drives with 128 gigabytes of RAM the installer
recommended:
- 1.0 MB freespace
- 536.9 MB ESP
- 899.7 /
- 120.2 GB swap
- 1.0 MB freespace
This would not be a useful computer.
Some possible heuristics to apply:
- 16 or 32 gigabytes of swap is probably plenty -- beyond this, swapoff time
may dominate reboots
- 10 gigabytes of / is probably a minimum, below this perhaps swap should be
completely ignored
Thanks
