Severity: wishlist
Hi,
I have found no way to specify a ram-size-dependent size for a
partition. This is useful for the swap partition for example, where it
could be reasonable to set e.g. the double size of the swap size.
The current situation (e.g. without such an option) is bad for an
environment, where you have a lot of systems that do have different RAM
configuration, because you have to create another system-class-specific
disk profile for just one change (= different swap value).
So my proposal is to add a new possible option to the storage file
format and evaluate it during partitioning. For example
logical swap 2x defaults
with a given amount of 512M ram would result into a 1024M swap
partition.
Thanks in advance,
best Regards,
Patrick
