[2025-06-22 07:22:56] - WARNING - Archinstall experienced the above error. If you think this is a bug, please report it to
https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall and include the log file "/var/log/archinstall/install.log".
Hint: To extract the log from a live ISO
curl -F'file=@/var/log/archinstall/install.log' https://0x0.stI have an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 with two disks, one with 500GB an one with 1TB.
I have installed Windows in the 500GB, and am using the 1TB as data storage.
I allocated 128GB in the 1TB to install archlinux.
Upon starting archinstall, it reports that it is essentially unable to mount a btrfs partition. But a closer look reveals to me that what it assumes to be a btrfs is actually a MSR partition, hence it is unable to mount it.
I'm not sure if the issue is on my part or not, but this completely disables me from installing archlinux without doing a manual install, which I kinda don't want to.
