@Pro3641 - THANK YOU for publishing your findings on increasing the ‘System Update’ partition to 13GB.

As of 13 November 2022, the size of the OSU1.zip update is 6,787,990,793 bytes (6.8 GB)

These are the lines that should be changed (or commented out and added)

Files in Win directory:

create_xbox_drive.ps1
create_xbox_drive_gui.ps1

Either comment out and add below or change the following:
# Xbox update partition size (12G)
$XBOX_UPDATE_SIZE_IN_BYTES = 12884901888

Change to:
# Xbox update partition size (13G)
$XBOX_UPDATE_SIZE_IN_BYTES = 13958643712

If you want to use the old script:

file:
create_xbox_drive_old.bat

Change from:
:: Xbox update partition size (12G)
set XBOX_UPDATE_SIZE_IN_BYTES=12884901888

Change to:
:: Xbox update partition size (13G)
set XBOX_UPDATE_SIZE_IN_BYTES=13958643712

Files in Linux directory:

file:
create_xbox_drive.sh

Change from:
# Xbox update partition size (12G)
XBOX_UPDATE_SIZE_IN_BYTES=12884901888

Change to:
# Xbox update partition size (13G)
XBOX_UPDATE_SIZE_IN_BYTES=13958643712

There is a problem with your HDD partitioning with OSU1 newer versions from Sept 2022 and up (OS 22621.2216 or newer). The size of OSU1 will not fit on the System Update partition when attempting to copy into folder A and B. When you put OSU1 into folder A, you get an error saying not enough room is available when you try to copy OSU1 into folder B. I tried removing a couple language files from A folder before copying into B folder. I would only get E101 errors when putting the drive back into the Xbox original. After 3 painful days of retrying your directions, I finally increased the partition size of System Update to 13GB. I copied the OSU1 into A and B without removing any files and everything worked perfect. The new OSU1 needs about 800MB more space than the original 12GB size of the System Update partition.

Awesome stuff, per usual. Do you think the Linux installs will work with a Mac, directly, or would a Linux OS be required?

Thank you for your review!
The Linux shell script relies on a couple command line tools not present by default under macOS. Particularly sgdisk and mkntfs.
macOS does not natively support creating NTFS files systems and is the biggest hurdle preventing a native script.
That said, you can get sgdisk running on macOS:

mkntfs isn't as easy:

no good on 4tb drives or above. You do not get correct amount of space. on a 4 tb you only get 2tb usage.

This is on purpose, I'm adding a warning to script version 8.0.
Xbox One internal drives have a 2TB limit that you cannot get around.
This is a bug or feature by Microsoft's design.
This is the video I made trying to fill a 5TB internal drive.

Script version 7.0 and above max out at 1947GB for the "User Content" partition.
Theoretically you can created a larger partition than this but you cannot use the additional space.

    I was like is this the way out, oh probably there's a giant exit sign
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't

    Howdy @mthrnite , great to see you :D

    hola mi hermano
  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    we need more smart cats tho for reals
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    ^this
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

    Everyone should be Medicaid elegable for implants at the most
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem
