Dear Maintainer,
I was a bit surprised when I did a quick Debian Stable install on my new
workstation (384 Gb RAM, 512 Gb ssd) and ended up with just 80 Gb usable
diskspace, thanks to a 400 Gb swap partition that the Debian installer created.
I think a warning/question when more than 25% of the disk is used as swap-space
would be in order. I would think that computer-owners who install large amounts
of memory carefully install enough memory to not swap excessively.
After re-installing, this seems a lot saner:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 377Gi 842Mi 219Gi 9.0Mi 157Gi 374Gi
Swap: 44Gi 0B 44Gi
