Fresh install onto SSD (btrfs format). Any ideas on what went wrong?

Pre-mounted option does not work for Btrfs

Pre-mounted option does not work for Btrfs

That is false. As always, give it a try, especially before commenting with confidence.

You're correct. I run through a pre-mounted installation with Btrfs and it does work as expected. From the logs provided it seems that sda3 was mounted and sda2 was mounted when archinstall was run

...
   "mountpoints": [
       "/mnt"
   ],
    "name": "sda3",
...
   "mountpoints": [
       "/mnt/boot"
   ],
   "name": "sda2",
...

but I fail to see the actual btrfs volumes being mounted. I would expect something like

  "mountpoints": [
      "/mnt/archinstall/.snapshots", 
      "/mnt/archinstall/var/cache/pacman/pkg", 
      "/mnt/archinstall/var/log", 
      "/mnt/archinstall/home", 
      "/mnt/archinstall"
  ],

Could it be that the subvolumes themselves where not mounted which could explain the error

I managed to work around my issue by doing an old-fashioned install; but it isn't actually solved since I'm not sure what went wrong. Was there a step I missed?

If you had setup btrfs outside archinstall you need to mount all volumes to the respective mount points first before running the installer

Thanks. I hadn't mounted /home.
