Has anyone tried this yet? Or at least in a similar "let me mount a bunch of drives under a folder and set my root to that" type situation? Just want to make sure all the statvfs() stuff plays nice with chrooting and such, although I guess we don't chroot during the install itself...

I have used it with mkarchroot (which does a pacman -r) with no issues.  I assume the installer essentially does the same.

What will not work, is using this within a chroot...   Run "df" inside a chroot to see why.  Perhaps we should document that in the man page? Might not be a terrible idea, and not sure there is any good way we can work around that.

FWIW. AIF has cans install in the live system, as well as the target system. like this: PACMAN=pacman PACMAN_TARGET="pacman --root $var_TARGET_DIR --config /tmp/pacman.conf" https://github.com/Dieterbe/aif/blob/master/src/aif.sh#L139 Dieter
