IRC is still alive and kickin @aprodigy which board do you have?
<stipa>
maybe the hardware doesn't allow the size you want
<stipa>
have you checked the SOC manual?

[Discord] <aprodigy> rock5, a few of them... like arbian a lot, still using vendor due hdmi-out missing out with edge. still, i'm fine with noble + trunk and vendor. no, that's no the issue, hehe. ``armbian-install`` partitions anything with a msdos partition table, hence the 2tb barrierer. i use a 4tb one with my rock5 but `àrmbian install` creates one single partition of 2tb size while it being msdos and not gpt :P

<stipa>
i've seen prices of those going up, but 4tb for $200 seems like a good deal
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> it is
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> but, ``arm-install`` won't do, hehe... you'll have to do it yourself which is okay, haha
<stipa>
do you really need 4tb in one partition or you could splitit it in two?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> but, ``armbian-install`` won't do, hehe... you'll have to do it yourself which is okay, haha
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> yes, i need it in one
<stipa>
could you install the os on the sdcard and sue the whole 4tb as additional disk?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> tbf, ``armbian-installl`` should ask what partition type is desired if it detects drives larger than 2tb
<stipa>
or you want do go desktop
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> no, but vms, docker et al.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> lotsa lxd images
<stipa>
the software runs ok from the sdcard, you could point it to NVME i guess
<stipa>
for heavy data
<stipa>
but
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> yes, but - again - ``ambian-install`` only creates msdos partition tables, haha... so more than 2rb is a no no
<stipa>
right
<stipa>
could you format the disk in the PC?
<stipa>
NVME disk?
<stipa>
with the armbian running on the SD card

[Discord] <aprodigy> ya, np... i can even do it via the first boot via usd... prepare the mvme, mirrore the image et cetera... np, but i'm asking for the installer to do that :P
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> hence i'm here arguing
<stipa>
if the board doesn't detect the 4tb while armbian is sunning on the sd card then it could be the SOC that can't chew 4tb NVME
<stipa>
is running*
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> you still get me wrong
<stipa>
can you code?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> i am asking for the ``armbian-install`` to do that, haha
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> yes
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> it's ma job
<stipa>
then do it
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> naaaaa
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> hehe
<stipa>
:D
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> welp, i might
<stipa>
you know the drill
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> well see
<stipa>
aye
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> ^

if it's something that's not working usually users have to fix it

[Discord] <aprodigy> ya, i see... kinda like the good ol' os86 times i've been involved back then
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> not sure i wanna go down that rabbit hole once again
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> ya, i see... kinda like the good ol' osx86 times i've been involved back then
<stipa>
yeah, ARM is pop rn
<stipa>
it slowly is creeping into desktops
<stipa>
and there's a need for talent to make it happen
<stipa>
same old story(yours)
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> i love this shit, the rock5 is friggin rockin ! but theeeee work... that still needs to be done
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> i'm gettin too old for that
<stipa>
right
<stipa>
there's hope
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> k, hehe
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <aprodigy> but again, good to see ya irc folks... my znc is probably still takings logs of a few libera chats but i gotta admit, i have not been around myself, haha
<stipa>
you're welcome here on libera #armbian, there's 102 of us

hehe
<stipa>
aprodigy: there's also #armbian-offtopic and some other armbain related channels
<stipa>
i'm not in those but hose exist

ya, still trying to get used to irssi again, haha

but im gettin there

[Discord] <alexl83> yes, it seems onboard wifi doesn't like to be steered from band 2 to 5 and vice-versa
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <alexl83> it's a pain in the ass
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> what's this about that firmware length mismatch thingy
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> what's this about that firmware length mismatch thingy though?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> is there a workaround? I just got this so I could do some embedded linux goofing around
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> all I need is a shell
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <alexl83> don't know, shouldn0t be the issue, connect it to a 2ghz-only or a 5ghz-only network and it should work
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> and my router is prolly 100 ft away
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> thank you <3
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <c0rnelius77> Does it happen using external wifi such as a dongle? The unisoc wifi driver is kind of garbage.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> i don't have a wifi dongle and even so the (orange) juice doesn't seem worth the squeeze
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> as I said i just need some kind of a shell
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> as I said i just need some kind of a shell so I can mess around with stuff
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <c0rnelius77> just asking and relaying the woes of that driver.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> but yea i can tell cornelius
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <c0rnelius77> the driver is just awful.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> how so? is it bad enough that you would need to somehow rewrite it
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> how much documentation is there even on that wifi chip
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <c0rnelius77> not much... i saw some half-ass attempt at trying to mainline it once but that was a joke. as far as I know no one uses it but OPI.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <awesomerly> also how would u recommend I start maybe contributing to this stuff. I want to learn more about embedded linux
