What happened?
Ventoy installed successfully on my device but seems to have created a partition outside the disk space. The image says it all. The USB is real, I've checked with f3probe.
How did you install Ventoy, by Ventoy2Disk.sh ? or by GUI version? Some log please.
Besides, please give the result of fdisk -l /dev/sdb
Installed via GUI version

[FAIL] /dev/sdb1//dev/sdb2 does not exist
When you use GUI release, there will ba a log.txt file after you install. Upload it here for analyze please.
Well, I know the reason. Your USB stick is 4k native (logical sector size and physical sector size are both 4096). Ventoy doesn't support 4K native USB stick now.
Ok, if that is the reason for the issue do you still want me to upload the log? Any chance 4k native usb sticks will be supported in the future? (if not that is fine)
