Re: [CentOS] Kickstart wrong swap size

The kickstart setup is currently based on CentOS 5.2 (and I cannot move to 5.4 yet as this is a corporate setup affecting hundreds of machines). Hardcoding swap size isn't a good idea either because there's a range of different memory configurations. I could however confirm that a manual, graphical install from the 5.4 DVD with recommended settings creates 10GB swap on a 8GB RAM machine.

For my systems I have a bit of logic in my %pre kickstart config that looks for a swapsize command line option and uses that as the swap size(if it doesn't find one it defaults to 4G, I really never want my own systems swapping more than 4G, I set my VMs to 1G of swap).
