Hi, I am trying to install SmartOS on my HP Z820 workstation, which has 256G memory and 160G SSD hard disk.
There is no problem when I setup the network, the zpool, the root password, and so on. Finally, when I press 'y' and 'Enter' to start to installation, it fail. The reason is quite simple: when the installing script create the swap zone, there is no enough disk space, so it just stop there, and give me a prompt. I tried to create a small swap zone by myself, but I didn't know what to do next. Simply reboot doesn't work. Actually, I met a similar situation before when I used Solaris on this machine. At that time, the installation was completed, and when I entered the system first time, it reported that there is no disk space. Then I checked 'zfs list', and found that the swap zone was too huge, so I resized it, then there was no problem any more. My question is as the title: how to install SmartOS when the memory is bigger than the hard disk? is there some way to tell the installing script my preferred size of the swap zone? BTW, for a machine with 256G memory, is there necessary to create a swap zone? If so, how big should it be? Thank you!
