In picture above, you could add a message/note to select "none" when the user in using a single root partition, just to clarify it?

Thanks for your return but in console the size is limited... If you use autopart just press enter...

Ah ok, I understand; the problem is the first time I selected the same / partition and it asked me to format again... Not even a small message like: Select home device ("none" If mounting in "/"): Maybe you can find a better text/solution... Btw did you see the issue a reported in archdi (https://github.com/MatMoul/archdi/issues/3#issuecomment-450683905)

@spsf64 Ok I tag to possible enhancement but it isn't a priority

I think you should rework a bit all this part, not just for /home. Like, "swap=none" seems to imply quite a different thing to be honest - and only after wondering why in the hell format was making me wipe four times the same partition I understood the true meaning.

I think previously selected partitions should not be available in subsequent choices. (also, is there any reason why whole /dev/sdx disks are offered?)
