[Bug] btrfs more than 1 will leads conflict

superium · 2024-05-14 01:19:22

i have 2 btrfs on my disk.

sda6, btrfs---> planing to install arch.
sda8, btrfs---> already installed other linux.

on sda6, i created 4 subvol via archinstall. They are:
```
@ ---> /
@/var ---> /var
@/boot ---> /boot
home ---> /home
opt ---> /opt
```

but while install, it always report creat sub home and opt error, for `/mnt/arch-instructor/home` already exist.
then i found that archinstall always mount /dev/sda8 to /mnt/arch-instructor.
but i have never marked sda8 as modify. even i umount it , archinstall still trying to work on sda8.

# tempory solution for who suffer the same issue:
save config, and modify it, change type to other than btrfs on sda8, and delete the btrfs subvols in the config-file.
then archinstall --config the_modified_config_file.

i'm using the iso of 2024.4.1.
(for the iso of 2024.5.1 can't be boot via ventoy.)

Did you update archinstall so you are using the latest version?

pacman -Sy archinstall

(Don't use -Sy in an installed system, only use it in the live environment!)

Using the 2025.01.01 ISO image would probably be better though. Do you have to use ventoy?
