Hi Dave,

The scope of a swap or dump device is global and not specific to a pool.
- Should we have an "automatic" specification for swap/dump (in other
words, use the algorithm that the interactive installers use), or is
its absence expected to imply automatic behavior in AI? If that's the
case, do we need a "none" to disable their creation?
No, we don't need a none. Since this is a subelement of the target
element and not required, their absence means we default to calculating
it. If specified we use the values specified.
OK, so if I don't specify swap/dump targets at all, then I don't get
any? I wonder if we should default this differently, though, so that a
standard install might have a more terse document. It's unusual to not
want swap or dump, after all (and there are some who claim that having
no dump shouldn't even be allowed).
No, if you don't specify any swap or dump targets you get the default
swap target. I am not sure about dump, but I know we calculate and
create the default swap device.
Do you want the user to have to specify swap/dump to get these? And
default to nothing?
No, I'd default to creating the automatic ones if nothing is specified.
But we should have a way to specify no swap, at least.
Dave
