Hello !

I readed the FAQ 4.8 about partioning my drive but have a little problem
of understanding.

The machine has 32 GB physical RAM, the disc is a 256 GB SSD (yes, I know,
I should not use swap on a SSD) and, I installed the latest snapshot from
yesterday. So far so good.

Disklabel likes to create in auto layout b: swap with 23,2 GB and e: /var
with 30,2 GB.

If I follow the FAQ, then core dumps should not work. I could resize swap
and /var to have the same (or bigger size) as the physical RAM which is
also no problem. My question - or better the things I don't understand (I
found no informations and also had no panic message till now) are, which
size had a core dump and, will core dumps work, if swap (on /var is enough
place to copy the core dump file from swap to /var/crash after a reboot)
is smaller then the physical RAM ? My question is meaned, that swap is
only used for core dumps - nothing more.

Thanks for your answers.

Regards,


Christoph
