Comments
In this Post @JongAnYoo reports to have solved the problem via option 2) and shows the result in his Video |
https://github.com/HoloISO/holoiso-installer/blob/main/usr/bin/holoiso_installer#L61 I did this by manually executing the commands in the installation script. parted ${DEVICE} mkpart primary fat32 2M 256M
parted ${DEVICE} mkpart primary btrfs 256M 15G
parted ${DEVICE} mkpart primary ext4 15G 16G
parted ${DEVICE} mkpart primary ext4 16G 100%
root_partition="${INSTALLDEVICE}2"
var_partition="${INSTALLDEVICE}3"
home_partition="${INSTALLDEVICE}4"
mkfs -t vfat ${INSTALLDEVICE}1
fatlabel ${INSTALLDEVICE}1 holo_efi
mkfs -t btrfs -f ${root_partition}
btrfs filesystem label ${root_partition} holo_root
mkfs.ext4 -F ${var_partition}
e2label ${var_partition} holo_var
mkfs.ext4 -F ${home_partition}
e2label ${home_partition} holo_home If you have experience with Then replace the content in sync && udevadm trigger
holoiso_bootstrap --username "${HOLOUSER}" --password "${HOLOPASS}" --root_password "${ROOTPASS}" |
He decided to show the result but he didn't show how to reach it. |
Problem:
Many users will have the same problem I am facing: For initial testing of HoloIso one does not want to erase the entire drive, but instead install the system on a separate partition alongside an existing installation - for testing stability of the existing hardware.
Suggested solution:
Either 1) add the option to select a partition instead of a full drive in HoloIso Installer
Or 2) provide a quick guide on howto edit the /usr/bin/holoiso_installer script for enabling installation on a partition instead of the full drive
Thanks in advance!
