Errors while partitioning disk

[144]

I'm using v2.3.0.RC2 version with Disk Encryption. I was getting the same thing while using master branch version before.

This looks like an overlap of partitions. Did you use the manual partitioning function or wipe the entire disk?

I selected "Wipe entire disk".

Could you supply me the /var/log/archinstall/install.log and user_disk_layout.json in the same folder?

there you go

Something in the calculations surely have gone wrong. I'll investigate. Thank you for supplying the logs, they will help a lot!

[Torxed]

I've tracked the source of the issue. It's partially from bad assumptions but also an improvement we made. We swapped lsblk to lsblk -b and do a conversion during BlockDevice().size to always return GB instead of GiB, which meant a math operation we did to do a conversion became bad.

I think PR #752 addresses this. I'm testing right now.

[Torxed]

This should now be fixed. I've verified with one installation, but do let me know if this is still an issue.

Yes, partitioning works properly now. Thank you.
