We're aware, but it would require additional logic and we should handle these in a context and not directly.
This should be a bit easier to deal with now that BlockDevice is a class and we're migrating to dataclasses
FWIW: USB devices and most types of RAID's is not fully supported or tested yet.
So just to confirm, even by doing manual partitioning and mounting at /mnt, installing Arch on LVM is not possible using archinstall, correct?
Update: Sorry just saw the milestone for v2.4.4 !

Try mounting to /mnt/archinstall
, any luck?
To walk-through, how this is done, can you please correct me if I'm wrong in these steps:
When I go back to main menu, I can't proceed to install because of missing drive selection!
What do I do? Thanks!
We'll correct that part, but for now save the chosen config and do:
# archinstall --config /path/config.json --disk-layout /path/disks.json --creds /path/creds.json --silent
That should bypass the requisits that the menu system imposes :) everything else looks good
# --disk-layout /path/disks.json
but I don't have a disk layout json file for this! I only have a mount point /mnt/archinstall .
# --disk-layout /path/disks.json
but I don't have a disk layout json file for this! I only have a mount point /mnt/archinstall .
Yea sorry, I was about to fall asleep yesterday haha.
With --silent
it should mute any questions and skip --disk-layout
hopefully.
I can give it a try today as well but that should work.
I get this error:

I'll have a look after I push the release, because LVM's isn't supported yet. But I want it to be :) I just need to spend some time on reworking some BTRFS logic and push the release first.
Fails when given an LVM volume for root (possibly other mountpoints).
In this case,
archinstall
should simply use UUID.
