The patch proposed is good, but is incomplete. Our default recipe, takes between 100% and 200% of ram, with a default suggestion of 512M. However only the min boundary is updated, but not the max one.
Imho, instead of capping min/max calculations, they should be left as is. Instead, we should cap as to what we consider to be 100%, aka cap the RAM calculation to 1GB, to thus have swap file between total RAM and 2GB, with no more than 2GB. And imho it should be a question if we cap the RAM or not, with an option to pressed unlimited. Will implement this shortly, based on the partman-swapfile code. And thus 20G disk / 30000M RAM -> should work and install correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351267 Title: partman-auto prefers to give disk to swap, leaving root too small To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-auto/+bug/1351267/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
