Keith,

Thanks for the review.

Hi Ethan,

No, the text installer doesn't need to mimic the other installers. I simply jumped to the wrong conclusion when you stated that this change affected the liveCD. Everything looks good now, thanks.

    Hi Ethan,

    Does the text installer need to be updated as well? The relevant
    code is under:
    usr/src/cmd/text-install/osol_install/text_install/ti_install_utils.py


The text installer doesn't need to be updated and neither did the
LiveCD, but since the code being modified here is shared by AI and
the LiveCD, it gets impacted as well and I didn't really want to diverge
this code for AI vs LiveCD.

In looking at the text installer's code, it looks to be a copy of the
logic from liborchestrator.  If we really need to keep these consistent,
then I can make the corresponding changes to the text installer as
well.  (Was this part of the plan when we copied this logic for the
text installer?)


In the long run, when we move our apps over to using the new engine,
this logic would seem to be per-app though, rather than being shared.


thanks,

    Can I get a couple of reviewers for this.

    6978639 Default net AI install on x86 with 1GB or less memory no
    longer works when installing from /dev repo

    http://cr.opensolaris.org/~equach/webrev.6978639/


    This fix effectively increases the amount of swap zvol that
    gets created for systems with physical memory between
    786MB =< mem < 1.5G.  The code basically enforces that
    systems in this range have a total of 2G virtual memory.

    Systems with 512MB RAM are unchanged.  They continue to
    get configured with a UFS slice for swap.

    Systems with 1.5G RAM or larger are unchanged.  They
    currently get (1/2 * mem) added as swap, which already
    puts them above the 2G mark.


    The following is a table of the swap that will get created when
    installing on a 16G disk.  The lines in red highlight what changed.
    These changes apply to both LiveCD and AI (Sparc and X86).
    (The non traditional mem sizes were not tested on Sparc.)
