Bug#1076952: [RFD] partman-auto: Update guided partitioning size limits for current and future needs



Hello Pascal,

I would like to suggest /var/log recipe. I think it is a valuable recipe for production environments.

For example, imagine a simple partitioning with / recipe for all. On more than one occasion, whether a process writes up too fast in /var/log recipe, it would exhaust free space for whole system. To avoid a bad behaviour (either a spamming process or bad journal configuration), personally I jail /var/log files into an isolated partition. So, an exhausting /var/log does not impact in the system.

I would be very pleased being considered /var/log recipe in the guided partitioning. Maybe I should be a different RFD, but I want to take the opportunity in your current RFD because you suggest a poll with all current recipes.

Regards.
