Bug#597087: debian-installer: Swap space is too big when created by the guided partitioner
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Hi!
Sorry if it's already known or already reported, but trying to make a
install (with 20100916-10:40 daily-image of kfreebsd-amd64) on a disk
with 166 GB of free space, using the guided partitioner (selected the
option to split /home only), I had these partitions created:
7.0 GB /
5.9 GB swap
153.2 GB /home
The machine has 2 GB of RAM (just in case the RAM size is used to
calculate the swap space size).
Isn't 5.9 GB of swap too much? It's 3 times the size of the RAM and almost
the same size of /
Also, isn't 7.0 GB for / too little?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Nelson
