I have encountered a problem for which I need your suggestion. Problem Statement: Partition proposal goes for a toss during manual installation. Partition proposal that we need. We need the partition proposal as follow. boot( minimal), swap(2 times the RAM), root and COS(this is our own filesystem) each getting 50% of the remaining respectively. Where the problem occurs: During installation in manual mode, the partition proposal on the UI is shown with the right percentage for each partition as mentioned above . But once I enter custom partitioning menu, the start and end region of boot, swap, root takes up all the disk region leaving out COS, hence we dont get the right proposal when we move forward in the installation. Can you suggest me some methods that I can use to get the partition proposal right. Further we will be adding another partition to the existing ones named /var. Since maximum partitions that we can have is 4 and we already have 4 as mentioned above. How can we add /var partition. Any thoughts or suggestion will be helpful. Waiting for your reply.
