#13603 — Problem With Hard Disk Partitioning In Debian Linux 12.x

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi,
The SWAP Partition is too low in Debian 12.x that is just 1 GB.
In Debian 8.x the SWAP Partition automatically adjusted as per the Hard Disk Sizes which can have 20 GB also.
Manual Partitioning in Debian 12.x is not happening to adjust SWAP Partition and for other Folder Partitions.
Bye,

Hi Suarav,

Unfortunately, this is the wrong list: debian-project reaches the whole of
Debian. Follow up set to the debian-user mailing list.

This was a considered decision. The old setting defaulted to double the RAM
size - not ideal if you have large RAM and a smaller disk. If the disk
is partitioned with all files in one partition using LVM, for example,
relative sizes per partition will work well and adjust dynamically.

Please see above. Under most conditions, heavy use of swap would indicate
a problem and the default size works for many.

If you do choose manual partitioning, you can set partition sizes to
what you wish - the default for swap is 1 GB but you can set it to any
size you wish. The defaults changed in Debian 11 (bullseye).

Hope this helps,
