Bug#200643: autopartkit: suboptimal partitioning in a 3Gb disk

[Ruben Porras <nahoo82@telefonica.net>]

Package: autopartkit
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-09
Severity: normal

This is what autopartkit has done:

Disk /dev/hdb: 3228 MB, 3228696576 bytes
 128 heads, 63 sectors/track, 782 cylinders
 Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes
  
    Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
 /dev/hdb1   *         1       406   1636960+  83  Linux
 /dev/hdb2           407       782   1516032    5  Extended
 /dev/hdb5           407       782   1516000+  82  Linux swap

For me it's not correct because the half of the disc is swap (1.4GiB),
part of this space would be better in /, /home or whatever. The machine
has 512Mb of RAM (another reason for not making such a big swap).
