 Perchun Pak | I mean in this example, will disko try to overwrite 2mb of free space with partition with random_windows_partition_1, or it will skip it?
partitions = {
esp = { ... };
# 2mb of free space
random_windows_partition_1 = { };
windows_main_partition = { };
# etc...
};
and for context, yes I am again trying to partially format my disk using script without backups

 lassulus | Well you can create a partition without content. So that it alligns correctly. But you can also leave some space by using start | 12:06:58 |
| lassulus | I guess start would be the right thing to do here | 12:07:24 |
| lassulus | Since an empty partition is a bit different than no partition | 12:07:45 |
| Perchun Pak | i just realized this will break my windows partition because it (windows) doesn't like when you move its partitions | 12:09:27 |
| Perchun Pak | so i will just hard format my drive probably | 12:09:39 |
| Perchun Pak | i accidentally nuked my entire drive and now trying to add space for windows before Linux. is this a bug?
esp = { ... };
swap = {
start = "500G";
# ...
};
luks = {
size = "100%";
# ...
};

| Perchun Pak | (swap partition is after the luks partition) | 13:03:34 |
|  matthewcroughan changed their profile picture. | 13:04:12 |
| Perchun Pak | if I add start = "500G"; to luks, it fails with

(same error if I set 520gb instead of 500 in luks partition)
| 13:09:23 |
| lassulus | Hmm interesting. But not sure why it can't set those things | 13:11:12 |
| lassulus | what does fdisk -l show on the device? | 13:11:39 |

Hmm interesting. But not sure why it can't set those things have you had some free time to look at it? it is kind of blocking for me | 11:22:52 |
| lassulus | oh it's a dos partition table | 11:23:23 |
| lassulus | well, then you have to use the legacy table type | 11:23:39 |
| lassulus | and live with the warning | 11:23:46 |
| lassulus | or is that the stick? | 11:24:09 |
| lassulus | ah it's the stick, nvm | 11:24:25 |
| Perchun Pak | windows works only on a legacy table? | 11:24:44 |
