Proposal: Changes to Fedora Server default partitioning scheme
by Stephen Gallagher 13 Dec '24

13 Dec '24

The following proposal comes out of the discussion at this weeks Server SIG meeting[1] Fedora Server will have: * / (root) will be a minimum of 2 GiB and a maximum of 15 GiB * SWAP will continue to be calculated automatically based on available RAM on the system * All unused space will be assigned to a volume group and available to be assigned to new partitions or extend existing partitions. * Anaconda will continue to handle the appropriate EFI and /boot settings We also discussed during the meeting whether we should have a separate /var partition by default, but the general sense was that we might be better served by developing a mechanism to allow partitions to be split from existing mount points, which would be more flexible going forward. As we did not have quorum in the meeting by the point we got to this proposal, I'm taking it to the list for discussion and votes. For the record, the current behavior of the partitioning scheme is for / to be given up to 50 GiB of space and then any remaining space after that is assigned to a separate /home partition.

Cockpit motd support
by Allison Karlitskaya 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

hi, Cockpit 169 (released today) contains a change to take advantage of the recently added PAM support for /etc/motd.d to display a helpful note to the admin about how to start or access cockpit. The required PAM changes have already landed in Fedora 28. It seems that the PAM configuration of Fedora 28 (at least in our test images here) doesn't use pam_motd at all, though. I'd like to start a discussion about what would be appropriate here. We want at least a message displayed when people log in to an interactive session with ssh, but it might also be useful to display a message at the virtual console, before or after login. Thoughts? Thanks in advance, Allison
