Hmmm,

create=false only works if there was a partition before the installation.

but what if the Disk is brand-new? Or if the disk was partitioned with a
different way?
Then I have to wipe the complete disk to get my partitioning on that disk.

So, I have only to reformat my disk if the partitioning is not as I want
it....
