Partition / too full: 63393 blocks needed, 63037 blocks free

Got this message while installing Arch. I created:
/dev/sda1 300M for EFI System
/dev/sda2 1G for SWAP
/dev/sda3  20G for root
/dev/sda4 10.7G for home

did:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3
mkswap /dev/sda2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda4
mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sda1

mounted:
#mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
#mount --mkdir /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
#mount --mkdir /dev/sda4 /mnt/home
#swapon /dev/sda2

After doing
#pacstrap -K /mnt base linux linux-firmware
I got missing packages. Did
#pacman -Syu
and got the error "Partition / too full: 63393 blocks needed, 63037 blocks free"
When doing df -h got
airootfs     256M   9.8M  247M   4%  /
/dev/sda3  20G    1.4G   18G     8%  /mnt
/dev/sda1  300M    53M    248M  18%  /mnt/boot
/dev/sda4  11G      24K      9.9G    1% /mnt/home
So my / is only 4% used. What's the problem?

You didn't run the pacman -Syu in the chroot but on the live disk. What does "missing packages" mean exactly? Fix your mirrors to make the pacstrap command go through

airootfs     256M   9.8M  247M   4%  /
/dev/sda3  20G    1.4G   18G     8%  /mnt

247M Free on your root, which is the liveusb. can't really arch-chroot into /mnt cause it doesn't have anything in it so you won't be able to run ANY commands (other than ctrl-d to exit).  You have to use the pacstrap command.  I concur you should confirm which mirror you have set.
