f2fs not available under "Create New Partition" && "timed out waiting for device" on boot
I tried installing the current archlinux-2022.04.05-x86_64.iso with the latest archinstall (executed pacman -Sy archinstall, archinstall did update, then executed archinstall).
When selecting "Suggest disk layout" i could select f2fs among around 4 options. However, the proposed /root only had 20GB which i wanted to increase to 40GB. The version of archinstall shipped with archlinux-2022.04.05-x86_64.iso suggested 40GB for the /root partition, which is more sensible in my opinion.
When selecting "Create new partition" there were around 10 options but f2fs was not among them.
I then proceeded to install with the suggested disk layout and the installation succeeded without error. On rebooting, arch failed with "timed out waiting for device".
I don't know why this is the case and was hoping for archinstall to set up the system for me, as i am not experienced in setting up my os "the Arch way".
IIRC this was supposed to be a experimental filesystem hidden behind --advanced. And the path looks odd to me:
We will ofc try to fix this and also check the default filesize layout

Thank you!
We'll still take care of this, but in favor of fixing some more critical issues I'm just pushing this back one version.
I can see f2fs being an option in the manual partitioning and I think the rest of the issues mentioned should be resolved as well
