I tried Luks and BTRFS more than 6 times leading to a script error each and every time.
This was actually my experience also, so I went back to a manual install to just get it done. I think the archinstall
script won't get any configuration of device-mapper/LVM right (including disk encryption with cryptsetup
). The disk encrypt setup had even more hoops to go through than just LVM.
The short version:
That password prompt should be scorched to earth.
