Hello,
I have observed that the automatic partitioning feature of disklabel(8)
does not allocate more than approximately 350GB to system partitions
[1]. In my opinion, the tool should have been designed to use all
available space on the storage device when partitioning. To address this
limitation, I had to write a custom program that calculates partition
sizes to maintain their initial proportions while occupying the entire
storage device.
I would like to understand the rationale behind this design choice. Is
there a specific reason why the automatic partitioning is limited to
around 350GB for system partitions? Any insights or explanations you can
provide would be greatly appreciated.
