describe the problem
Hello,
i am new to Arch-Linux (using Manjaro usually) and have a lot of trouble with archinstall and need some Help please, because python exceptions occur.
Case 1: on my physical PC the setup suddenly interrupted, i dont now why exactly they want to touch nvme0n1p10:
target path already exists
archinstall.log
Case 2: even in my VM the setup dont complete:
Unable to determine new partition number: {path}
archinstall-vm.log
yes. id did already a "pacman -Sy archinstall" (update to 2.8.5) and the error still occur.
Haven't read thoroughly yet, but initial hint:
it looks like you're re-using partitions. Because the disk was never wiped - and it's trying to re-create subvolumes specified during manual partitioning.
yes, i have also other partitions and Linux distributions installed and want to install Arch only on a specific partitions.
But even on Case 2 (see log file from above), where i installed a fresh VM with "Suggest partition layout" the setup failed
We should handle those scenarios, so we'll have to debug and fix this obviously. It was just preliminary debugging information to find the root cause. The second one is a bit surprising tho, that should work.
it`s easy to reproduce! Download Arch-Linux ISO, create a new KVM, run archinstall, choose "Suggest partition layout" and maybe ext4 as FS and Setup will fail.
