Hi, when I select Pre-mounted configuration for Disk configuration where rootfs is bcachefs then it shows FS type as Unknown.

I use Hyper-V with 1 disk, latest version of archinstall.
I formated sda2 as bcachefs and mounted to /mnt, and sda1 as vfat and mounted to /mnt/efi

Then the installer craches because of fstype not set

Bcachefs isn't something parted supports which is being used for partitioning under the hood.

Bcachefs isn't something parted supports which is being used for partitioning under the hood.

That is not accurate for two reasons:

  1. The user is attempting an install with a pre-mounted configuration and therefore has already partitioned and formatted.
  2. parted(8) states that providing a file system when creating a partition is optional. This is true of pyparted as well, give it a try.

I will submit a pull request to fix this since it should work.

Apologies I misread the issue, I thought it was for manual partitioning. In that case yes, pre-mounted should work and it's a bug.
However, the pre-mounted feature is in general somewhat limited still as it doesn't support many detections, btrfs and lvm being some of them.

Btrfs works with the pre-mounted feature in the latest version.
