Why each option
Check Point requires a root partition of at least 20GB when installing a dedicated R80 SmartEvent server to ensure stable operation and sufficient space for application data.
Partition size is not arbitrary - insufficient root partition space will cause installation or operational failures on a dedicated SmartEvent server.
A root partition less than 20GB falls below Check Point's minimum specified threshold and risks disk exhaustion during normal SmartEvent operation.
A range greater than 10GB but less than 20GB does not meet the minimum 20GB requirement specified by Check Point for the SmartEvent server root partition.
Check Point's hardware and installation requirements for a dedicated SmartEvent server mandate a minimum root partition size of at least 20GB. Falling below this threshold risks installation failures or runtime instability caused by insufficient disk space for the SmartEvent application, indexes, and supporting databases.
