At least, I have tried several times and always got the same behavior.\r\n\r\nThis is not so much annoying with an SD card but it gets well on a hard disk of 314 Gb ;-) or more, the more so if one of the partitions is intended to be a swap partition.\r\n\r\nIt would be nice if Berryboot only erased the first (or, better yet, only one designated partition on the target drive.  Would this be hard to implement ?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maxnet/berryboot/issues/comments/236454924","html_url":"https://github.com/maxnet/berryboot/issues/314#issuecomment-236454924","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/maxnet/berryboot/issues/314","id":236454924,"user":{"login":"koalabi","id":2797773,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2797773?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi","html_url":"https://github.com/koalabi","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/koalabi/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-07-31T20:33:33Z","updated_at":"2016-07-31T20:33:33Z","body":"OK.
