    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.
Unfortunately this is only possible by using an intermediate device to
act as the installation disk and later move this data to the NVMe.
