70GB of Swap - Automated install

[FcbInfo]

Hi.

It's normal to get 70GB of swap partition on a server with 72GB of ram?

Better to keep this this swap, or do manual installation with debian?

Thanks for the help.

Thinking in install debian and after proxmox. But now I'm thinking here. If I have 70Gb of ram in use, and node needs some memory. Anyway, 70Gb is too much!

Hi,
you can use boot-options with the standard-installation to modify the root/swap/data-size.

See here: http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Debugging_Installation

Like "linux maxroot=20 swapsize=8"

set lower swap, use the boot options. http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Debugging_Installation

e.g. advice the installer to use 16 GB:

> linux swapsize=16

Good documentation, forgive me for not seeing it before. I searched but did not find.

Thank you for your time.
