RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
on a big memory machine, during install will report "not enough space for installation". It should be the swap_size is too big.

The current method to allocate the swap_size is:
SWAP_SIZE =  int(BASE_SWAP_SIZE) + int(OVERCOMMIT_SWAP_SIZE)
1. BASE_SWAP_SIZE:
if MEM_SIZE_GB < 4:
            BASE_SWAP_SIZE=2048
        elif MEM_SIZE_GB < 16:
            BASE_SWAP_SIZE=4096
        elif MEM_SIZE_GB < 64:
            BASE_SWAP_SIZE=8192
        else:
            BASE_SWAP_SIZE=16384
2. OVERCOMMIT_SWAP_SIZE:
OVERCOMMIT_SWAP_SIZE = int(MEM_SIZE_MB) * self.overcommit * 10 / 10
overcommit=0.5

On a machine with 256 GB mem, the SWAP_SIZE will large than 100GB.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120523.1.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. tui install rhevh on a big memory machine, such as have 256GB mem.

Actual results:
during install will report "not enough space for installation".

Expected results:
install can continue.
Comment 2 Mike Burns 2012-05-29 12:09:48 UTC 
This is really NOTABUG, but I'll defer it to 6.4 as an RFE to add a partition size configuration screen.  

In the above case, if you provide a disk large enough, the installation will be successful.  If you want to customize the swap size, you can specify it in the storage_vol kernel command line parameter.
Comment 3 Mike Burns 2012-06-12 17:44:01 UTC 
another option is to allow the user to set the overcommit value (which defaults to 0.5).
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 06:33:41 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:49:58 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
