Partitioning problem

[alm494]

Hi, this tool near perfectly works on official arch install media. But due to issues with some of WiFi cards I created my own media on USB (using this tool!) and installed a very basic archlinux there, also included 'archinstall' and 'arch-install-scripts', 'parted' and 'fdisk'. Archinstall works until disk partition reached and suspends on the step "BlockDevice(/dev/nvme0n1) contains the following partitions:" Using lsblk I can see all devices perfectly: nvme0n1 259.:0 0 476.9G 0 disk It seems that some packages are missing for partitioning and they are not installed as dependencies.

I know we've had issues with USB devices as the carrier, but I haven't tested it yet myself. Could you upload the /var/log/archinstall/install.log and perhaps I could see where it goes wrong?

Aha, thank you, now I see that filesystems support were not presented in my media:

BlockDevice(/dev/nvme0n1) contains the following partitions: /usr/bin/mkfs.vfat does not exist. Partition(path=/dev/nvme0n1p1, size=100M, fs=vfat) Partition(path=/dev/nvme0n1p2, size=16M, fs=None) (Filesystem not supported) Partition(path=/dev/nvme0n1p3, size=476.3G, fs=ntfs) (Filesystem not supported) Partition(path=/dev/nvme0n1p4, size=540M, fs=ntfs) (Filesystem not supported)

I fixed it but this error handling should be visible to user during installation process.

There should be dependencies in the package that should install these things. I'm curious why mkfs.vfat doesn't exist.

@Torxed I suspect this can be closed :)
