Crash: Cannot use existing partitionning

[Chevek]

Hi,

I want to use an SSD with an already existing partitioning scheme.

I asked for 3 partitions to bu used:

Partition | mount point | format | filesystem /dev/nvme2n1p1 | /boot/efi | NO | FAT32 /dev/nvme2n1p8 | /boot | YES | EXT4 /dev/nvme2n1p20 | / | YES | EXT4

There is many much more partitions on this drive which should remain untouched. And I setup GRUB.

Fort some reason, archinstall seems to be confused with BTRFS an another partition, then says "Mountpoint is not specified". I'm quite sure all 3 partitions I asked for to be used have all their mount points assigned (I repeated 3 time the operation). /dev/nvme2n1p1 -> /boot/efi /dev/nvme2n1p8 -> /boot /dev/nvme2n1p20 -> /

In particular I never asked to use /dev/nvme2n1p19 (which is formated using btrfs).

log is attached. H6xo.log

I have the same use case, same issue. It seems having boot and boot/efi segregated is not supported by archinstall which is a pity.

Thanks for the logs, this seems to be a bug as you correctly mentioned, the Btrfs is existing and also marked as such in the logs and therefore should not be touched at all

This is the same bug as #2337 and a PR is up to fix the issue

this is fixed
