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.

Revamping the Release Readiness meeting
by Ben Cotton 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

(Posting to many mailing lists for visibility. I apologize if you see this more times than you'd like.) You may have already seen my Community Blog post[1] about changing the Release Readiness meeting process. The meeting has questionable value in the current state, so I want to make it more useful. We'll do this by having teams self-report readiness issues on a dedicated wiki page[2] beginning now. This gives the community time to chip in and help with areas that need help without waiting until days before the release. I invite teams to identify a representative to keep the wiki page up to date. Update it as your status changes and I'll post help requests in my weekly CommBlog posts[3] and the FPgM office hours[4] IRC meeting. The Release Readiness meeting will be shortened to one hour and will review open concerns instead of polling for teams that may or may not be there. We will use the logistics mailing list[5] to discuss issues and make announcements, so I encourage representatives to join this list.
