[aur-general] archinstall script suggestion
In the case where /dev/sda is selected for installation and an installer chooses to format the whole disk and install a basic partition system on the disk and any other data is already on the disk archinstall errors out. In this case, wipefs -a /dev/sda run first clears the pre-existing data and partition structure and archinstall then operates correctly.

No, since when I wiped the partition and file system on the drive the install continued without those errors. Python and cobol are alike in that they both throw many errors. The trick with cobol is to fix the first error then many errors that followed it disappear. I have no idea if this works in python too. On Thu, 22 Jul 2021, Marcin Wieczorek via aur-general wrote:
