grub fails to install #47

Closed kris004 closed 3 years ago

Thank you for this project. Had one issue, when the usb has a existing label grub fails to install. For example, if your usb has a fs type of iso9660 with a fs label from imaging an archlinux install iso onto the drive grub install errors. Fdisk will remove this by default, gdisk will not. Possibly related to #25.

Best, Kris

Thanks for sharing this, do you have more details on the error?

I have a spare USB stick I can try to do some tests on.

Hi, i'm experiencing the same issue. It looks like the problem arose from the previous partition label. And can be easily fixed by deleting all partition (using fdisk/cfdisk) and then re-executing alma. Hope this helps some experiencing the same issue
