(Please provide enough information to help the Debian maintainers evaluate the report efficiently - e.g., by filling in the sections below.) Boot method: DVD ISO Image version: debian-13.4.0-amd64-netinst.iso Date: <Date and time of the install> Machine: KVM on Debian 13 Partitions: 10EiB sparse virtual disk Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect media: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: I sort of deserved this one - I was playing with the sparse virtual disk support in OpenZFS, and had created an impossibly large VM, but then Debian wouldn't install. The guided partitioner could limit new partitions to the max the filesystem can support. I choose "Guided - use entire disk", "All files in one partition", "Finish and Write" Result: Failed to create a filesystem. The ext4 file system creation in partition #2 of Virtual disk 1 (vda) failed. partman log: mke2fs 1.47.2 (1-Jan-2025) mkfs.ext4: Size of device (0x9fffffff80000 blocks) /dev/vda2 too big to create a filesystem using a blocksize of 4096
