  • Problem With Hard Disk Partitioning In Debian Linux 12.x

    From Saurav Sarkar@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 7 10:40:01 2024
    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.

    Hi,

    Hi Suarav,

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

    The SWAP Partition is too low in Debian 12.x that is just 1 GB.

    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.

    In Debian 8.x the SWAP Partition automatically adjusted as per the Hard Disk Sizes which can have 20 GB also.

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

    Manual Partitioning in Debian 12.x is not happening to adjust SWAP Partition and for other Folder Partitions.

    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,

    Andy
