Hello,
this post isn't directly related to WADS, but rather to the DISKPART commands used for disk formatting.
Do you know if there's a way to configure partitioning by percentage rather than a fixed size in MB?
I'd like to have a Windows partition that's 50% of the total space, but I have a heterogeneous network with machines that have disks of different sizes (512GB, 1TB, etc.).
Regards
[SOLVED] DISKPART partitioning

Hello Julien,
I imagine this is to allow dual booting between Windows and Linux?
I'll create an internal ticket for this. In the meantime, I think you could do a 128GB install and create a WAPT package that resizes after a reboot. Not a perfect solution, but it should do the job.
Sincerely,
Denis
WADS uses the Windows diskpart tool, which, to my knowledge, doesn't offer this option. WADS should be able to perform the calculation and pass it to diskpart, but this feature hasn't been implemented.julienplt wrote: ↑Jul 10, 2025 - 12:07 This post isn't directly related to WADS, but rather to the DISKPART commands used for disk formatting.
