Issues using a large disk - 7800G of reserved space - uli - 11-30-2023
I'm using ventoy-1.0.96. I do have a 8TB disk. I'd like
to use it for ventoy and for backup. So I'm trying to execute:
sudo ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i -g -r 7800000 /dev/sdc
This leads to:

Can't reserve 7800000 MB space from /dev/sdc
Using the GUI gives a similar error.
I can use Ventoy using this procedure:
1. Manually create partitions on the disk:
1 ... 200GB
2 ... 100MB
3 ... remaining space
2. Delete partition 2
3. Do a non-destructive install: sudo ./Ventoy2Disk.sh -i -n /dev/sdc
Partition 2 is recreated with a size of roughly 32MB
4. Delete partition 3
5. Create partition 3 for the remaining space

I'm not sure what the resolution of that "-r" argument is, bit if it's mB, your argument is too large at 7.8 tB... lose a "0"

Do a very small (10GB?) reserve then after you're done, simply use GParted to extend the partition to the remaining space.
