i want to install LVM on LUKS setup with ext4

[Torxed]

New version available: archinstall 2.8.6-1 -> 3.0.1-1

Could you try pacman -Sy archinstall and see if that solves the issue?

[perdakovich]

no. with new archinstall, it just stucks there.

Que tal amigo , pregunto si arreglaste el error que te genera, yo también tengo el mismo error al tratar de instalar en mi portátil y ahora me da en la maquina virtual VirtualBox que tengo instalado en Windows, si encontraste la solución me informas por favor , que tengas un lindo día

As part of https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/2687 there was a infinite wait implemented that is expecting for the volumes to be ready eventually.

After it gets stuck for a while (maybe 5min) could you terminate it and then run

lvs --reportformat json --unit B

and post the output?

Hi,

I faced the same issue with a 32GiB disk in a virtual machine. I used the "best-effort default partition layout" and the "default layout" in LVM. All in ext4. So by default, it creates a 1GiB /boot and the lvm part will have what's left : 33282850816B (we also have an offset of 3MiB) There will be two partition in the vg : /root : 20GiB and /home : 11808014336B

When it is created the vg has a size of 33281802240B (less than 33282850816B, it is 1MiB less).

It is taken account in the file archinstall/lib/disk/filesystem.py (around line 208) and an update of the size of the max partition is done. In our case the root partition is reduce by 1Mib. But the PE size of the pv and the vg is 4Mib, so when the lvcreate for the root lvm partition is done, the command rounds up the sector by 1Mib.

And for the second partition : the /home, there is not enough space to create it and it gets stuck here...

As a quick workaround I changed the line 219 in archinstall/lib/disk/filesystem.py : max_vol = max(vg.volumes, key=lambda x: x.length) by last_vol = vg.volumes[-1] and in line 222 the max_vol by last_vol In order to reduce the last partition which is the one that will not be a multiple of 4MiB.
