Can't do non-destructive install - Part #1 starts at 2MB instead of 1MB? - 0x6A7232 - 02-05-2024 So I have 2MB free space at the start of the drive (/dev/sda) and Ventoy refuses to attempt non-destructive install due to there not being 1MB space before the partition start (but there is 2MB space, so that should be more than adequate). In GParted, I can't move the partition 1MB over -- if I do, it moves it all the way over, even though I specify to leave 1MB at the beginning. It does this no matter what I specifiy for alignment (None, MiB, cylinder). Quote: If it is safe to attempt install with 2MB preceding, can the code be altered to check for a gap of at least 1MB, instead of a precisely 1MB gap? EDIT: If you are worried about someone later putting a partition in the blank space and over-writing the 1MB, perhaps specify a maximum gap of 5 or 10 MB? I don't think anyone would bother to create a partition that small. |
