                How to install TrueNAS SCALE on a partition instead of the full disk
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Install TrueNAS SCALE on a partition instead of the full disk

The TrueNAS installer doesn't have a way to use anything less than the
full device. This is usually a waste of resources when installing to a
modern NVMe which is usually several hundred of GB. TrueNAS SCALE will
use only a few GB for its system files so installing to a 16GB partition
would be helpful.
The easiest way to solve this is to modify the installer script before
starting the installation process.
