Target partition is smaller than source

I created a test image as requested as a single disk non resizable. Info below. When deployed it worked fine.

Well then I am not able to help. Can you please try again and again till it fails? And if it fails then run sfdisk -d /dev/sda and post a picture here, please.

This is really confusing! In that ZIP there is d1.minimum.partitions and d1.fixed_size_partitions which you only get with resizable image type, while in your first post you said this is non-resizable. My guess is you uploaded as resizable once and then changed image type to non-resizable. The error is still weird but maybe that can explain the issue?!?

@Sebastian-Roth That makes a lot of sense to me. Does the inits assume it’s re-sizable if those files are present?

While I am still not sure this was the issue I am pretty sure that things can go wrong if you simply change from resizable to non-resizable (plus use different size destination disks) without uploading again. But the inits do not assume resizable just because those files are there - they do the image type configured in the DB and just try to use the partition information available (d1.partitions in case of non-resizable) ignoring the other stuff.

As I said: It doesn’t have to cause trouble but it’s likely to.
