I'm trying to install Arch on a new Dell Inspiron laptop with a fancy Intel Optane SSD.
According to the laptop's user manual: "With the M.2 2280 Intel Optane Memory H10, the Intel Optane Memory is the primary drive."
The disk is split into one larger (/dev/nvme0n1) and one smaller (/dev/nvme1n1) section. I'm fairly certain the smaller section is the Optane Memory section, and the "primary" drive.
My preference is to get this working with EFISTUB and a subvolumed btrfs root, but I'm willing to experiment with GRUB, systemd-boot, and ext4 as well. I've just been using btrfs with no subvolumes the last couple of tests to try and get something working and then tweak it how I want from there.
I've tried re-configuring this over a dozen different ways on both the Optane Memory and main SSD drives with mostly the same errors, I'm clearly missing something here.
Configurations for the last test, truncated to relevant parts:

Thank you, I'll try the workaround suggested and mark as [SOLVED] if it works. I'll know to look in the bug reports in the future.
