1. Provide larger /, /var, and /tmp partitions (the last increase was
in 2001, and we now have both larger hard drives and more space-hungry
software.)
2. If there is enough space available, allocate extra space to /var
sufficient to store a crash dump.
On systems where harddrivesize > 3 * RAMsize + 10GB, the default sizes
will now be as follows:
swap RAMsize * 2
/ 512 MB
/tmp 512 MB
/var 1024 MB + RAMsize
/usr the rest (8GB or more)
On systems where harddrivesize > RAMsize / 8 + 2 GB, the default sizes
will be in the following ranges, with space allocated proportionally:
swap RAMsize / 8 -- RAMsize * 2
/ 256 MB -- 512 MB
/tmp 128 MB -- 512 MB
/var 128 MB -- 1024 MB
/usr 1536 MB -- 8192 MB
On systems with even less disk space, the existing behaviour is not
changed.
