I very strongly disagree. Neither swap or dump are mandatory for running Solaris. > As this lower bound is not hard coded but dynamically calculated > by the installer according to the size of bits to be installed, > it reflects actual needs as far as necessary minimum space is > required - it is currently ~4GiB. Which is unrealistically too high given that the actual amount of bits that are put on disk by a minimal install. > However, the absolute minimum always includes minimum swap space, > which is now 512 MiB.

If there is enough space for the packages that will be installed but not enough for swap or dump then the installation should proceed, it just wouldn't create swap or dump. -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
