![]() ![]() That conditional was added by dteske, but I see your point. We can remove that condition. In the future, it might make sense to offer the user the ability to leave unused space, but, we were trying not to clutter the UI with too many options. I will propose a patch to RE@ and see what they think. Created attachment 168330 [details]
Patch to remove the 'max 50% swap' conditional

I've successfully reinstalled my box with RC3 and got more or less the result I wanted. Being able to specify the amount used by ZFS might be nice eventually. |
