Without seeing the log file I can't say for sure what actually would have been formatted :shrug: The message that is displayed is a "be aware that will start applying your selected config now". It could be reworded to be more clear for sure.
Correct me if I'm wrong, as maybe I would've actually formatted my entire SSD :eyes:
I have an NVME SSD, I selected manual partitioning with
archinstall
and hit go. It then came up with a message saying formatting "/dev/nvme0n1
in 5, 4, 3," etc. As I didn't want to format my entire SSD (I am dual booting, and this is my main system) I cancelled. Could someone please tell me if it is safe to go ahead? If so, then there definitely should be a more verbose message - I only selected/dev/nvme0n1p5
and/dev/nvme0n1p6
to be formatted.Two people in the discord support channel seemed to have had the same issue, but it wasn't resolved.
