1. I think that most people do not want crash dumps. (we need a
survey.)
2. I think that a 32Meg root and a 120 Meg usr work for most systems
3. Given 2. you have a large usr1.
4. If you need to dump, just make usr1 a critical fs (it gets mounted
early) and have crash link to it. This would seem to be a good
compromise.
5. swap is funny. I buy memory not to swap period; not to swap larger
programs. I think that there should be some limit on swap to 64Meg
so large systems don't get large swap.
