So I use a very large NVMe drive in a 10gbps USB caddy as my ventoy drive. I sometimes decide to do other things with the drive, but because the EFI partition is after the iso partition it makes it hard to dynamically resize capacity of iso partition vs 3rd extra partition. I'd like to move the EFI partition to #1 but when I tried ventoy no longer finds the iso partition.
 
If I was able to load linux/windows disk images off of the extra partition then across different machines (disk orders are different) this is no longer a problem. I consistently have 200-300gb of isos so a static iso partition size is fine for this use case, its the img/vhd sizes that change often.

I also plan on resizing the EFI partition to add space for UKIs which will boot OS's off of actual partition on same disk. I can figure out the grub.cfg

Hi,

I am interested in purchasing iVentoy but I have some concerns about the machine code limit.

I am a hobbyist/student so alot of of my use case is experimenting and learning therefore many of my machines OS and hardware does not persist.
How is machine code derived? If its OS install based I will burn through my 5 codes too quick and might have to just keep it on my NAS only because it is my only PC that doesn't change often.

If I get a code for a VM will it persist across clones to new VMs? I can handle the machine code limit if I can keep a "golden" VM backed up and redeployable.

Hi,

I've never really used any kind of netboot before, but I'm interested in this as a frequent ventoy homelab user.

Basically my goal is to netboot into a read/write OS stored on NAS.
From what I gather this tool only boots into iso files.
Is it possible to boot into a rw raw or qcow img?
If not, is it possible to boot into an EFI or ISO that acts as an iSCSI initiatior for a RW disk/zvol on NAS?

Also, is it possible (or are there plans) to allow a persistance volume like ventoy has for iso files?

I just Read About New Software Iventoy and I am not sure if The Iventoy Support Acronis Image this Future Will Be Great if The Answer is yes


Thanks

I made the donation and do not have access or seen any perks?  I emailed the day I made the donation back in April and have not heard anything?
Anyone else have an issue? Is there a step I missed?

Welcome to Ventoy discussion forum!
iVentoy is my new project, https://wwww.iventoy.com

Regarding secure boot, the guide posted on Ventoy's website detailing the steps for Hash Enrollment show that we should select GRUBx64.EFI.

What if GRUBx64.EFI is not an option in your list? Is this based on the .EFI file that is likely used by the system you are booting Ventoy from? If so, I'm using Windows 10, so I assume I should select BOOTX64.EFI, correct? If I select the wrong one, I assume it will allow me to go back in and change it.

Is it better to Enroll Key or Enroll Hash? Enroll Key seems to be straight forward on my laptop, but I just wanted to try the hash enrollment process.

if you have linux then how you guys get out of ventoy menu ? 

boot windows only works on windows and it's fine
boot grub4dos works for Esxi and installed VMware's
but nothing works with linuxes 

i tried boot from local disk and that doesn't work with linux too (it stuck) 

is there any option or key to skip Ventoy and boot to anything on hard ?

Is it possible when boot in legacy boot (Bios) to show if CPU is 32 or 64 bit?
