Not enough blocks on clean installation with enough space

Ive been using arch for a little bit (2 or 3 weeks maybe) on my laptop and ive been liking it and finally got fed up with win10 on my main pc so i decided to install arch on that pc. I was going through basically the same process i did for this laptop and after i made my partitions and did pacman -Syu i got:

 
error: Partition / too full: 132831 blocks needed, 63157 blocks free
error: failed to commit transaction (not enough free disk space)

I know for a fact i do have enough space (which seemed to be the problem with all other issues with this error) because it says

Total Download Size: 505.81 MiB
Total Installed Size: 1009.50 MiB
Net Upgrade Size: -34.21 MiB

My partitions and size etc according to lsblk

sda
|_sda1 100M
|_sda2 30G /mnt
|_sda3 190G /mnt/home
|_sda4 15G [swap]

Is there something wrong with my partition sizing etc?

Re: Not enough blocks on clean installation with enough space

If you tried running pacman -Syu  on the installation media then / is the installation media ramdisk, not the partitions that you're wanting to install the system to...

Re: Not enough blocks on clean installation with enough space

The lsblk output certainly isn't the same.  But more relevant would be the output of `df -i`.
