Hello, I want to know how Debian chooses the size of the swap partition when using guided partitioning. I've done some research, and it looks like the program partman-auto uses recipes to generate the partitions. After doing some research on how the recipes work, I found that swap generated should be equal to the amount of installed RAM (except if you have less than 512 MB, in which case it will rise to a maximum of 200% of your ram size).
But, looking at my PC and laptop, I see that both of them report a 1 GB swap partition. Why is this? Is there some sort of override somewhere that I'm not seeing?

+1. The only way IMO.
If guided actually created 16GB swap on my system with 16GB RAM I would not be happy. It barely uses any swap (currently zero with a day uptime) with this much or more RAM.
Obviously individual use cases differ. A server may use more than a home desktop. If one suspends the system it needs swap space to save current state.
I doubt any recipe could possibly be effective for all cases.
Manual partitioning FTW!
