Hello -
I have a question concerning the automatic partitioning in AutoYast.
I've noticed that the calculated size for the swap partition is limited
to 2048 (MB), as shown in the following snippet:

/usr/share/YaST2/modules/Partitions.ycp Line 322 (SLES 10)

if( swap_size > 2048 )
swap_size = 2048;

I'd like to understand the rationale behind this limitation - does it
still make sense when the total memory size is, say 16 GB?

Thanks for your help!
- Harry
