jd Hi all,
jd Based on the further comments I received, following
jd approach would be taken as far as calculating default
jd size of swap and dump devices on ZFS volumes in Caiman
jd installer is concerned.
jd [1] Following formula would be used for calculating
jd swap and dump sizes:
jd size_of_swap = MAX(512 MiB, MIN(physical_memory/2, 32 GiB))
jd size_of_dump = MAX(256 MiB, MIN(physical_memory/4, 16 GiB))
jd User can reconfigure this after installation is done on live
jd system by zfs set command.
jd [2] dump and swap devices will be considered optional
jd dump and swap devices will be considered optional during
jd fresh installation and will be created only if there is
jd appropriate space available on disk provided.
jd Minimum disk space required will not take into account
jd dump and swap, thus allowing user to install on small disks.
jd This will need to be documented (e.g. as part of release notes),
jd so that user is aware of such behavior.
jd Recommended disk size (which now covers one full upgrade plus
jd 2GiB space for additional software) will take into account dump
jd and swap.
jd Dump and swap devices will be then created if user dedicates
jd at least recommended disk space for installation.
jd Thank you very much all for this valuable input.
jd Jan
I like your approach and I like even more that you've listened to
community - thank you.
