[Bug 1566129] [NEW] server installer partitioning suggestions need refinement

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

At least the server installer will make silly partitioning
recommendations when the disk size is similar to the RAM size. In my
case, 120 gigabyte hard drives with 128 gigabytes of RAM the installer
recommended:

- 1.0 MB freespace
- 536.9 MB ESP
- 899.7 /
- 120.2 GB swap
- 1.0 MB freespace

This would not be a useful computer.

Some possible heuristics to apply:

- 16 or 32 gigabytes of swap is probably plenty -- beyond this, swapoff time may dominate reboots
- 10 gigabytes of / is probably a minimum, below this perhaps swap should be completely ignored

Thanks
