Or is this not necessary, as I selected compression in the archinstall script?

I have 1GB recovery partition separately

Start again the “correct” way with a clean setup, keeping window/linux away from each other and not reusing partitions

No clue then, I use systemd-boot which does automatic detection since you have to keep things on one ESP anyway.

Here is the picture

Hello,

I used the archinstall script.

I selected the option to use compression and btrfs (at system root. I only have boot and root.).

After installation it is necessary to add:

“compress-force=zstd:15”

(or similar)

to fstab?

I also have to run:

btrfs filesystem defragment -r -v -czstd /

Or is this not necessary, as I selected compression in the archinstall script?

Thanks.

compress or compress-force needs to be in fstab, is it not?

P5 is the recovery
P1 is the EFI

Yeah, that’s fine though but 260MB can be too small and is below the recommended 512MB minimum.

Ok. How do I restart? Like what should I do next?

Yes, it is required in manual installation. Thank You

I’ve no clue how to solve your grub issue, as I do not use grub.
If I were you I’d create a new 512MB partition and install Linux there, you can move the Windows ESP files there too later if you wish.

What do you mean manual? I thought you are using archinstall

If you chose compression in btrfs in archinstall and it did not put the parameter in fstab, that’s a bug

I’ll try to explain.

Since I selected compression using the archinstall script,

expected that everything would be configured automatically.

Apparently I still need to add compression in fstab.

I understood.

Thanks.

You should report a bug if it isn’t already

Thanks for your time Martin

Thanks Rob

Oh! Interesting. Really I needed to add compression to fstab. It wasn’t automatic.

I’ll redo the test in virtual machine to be sure. So I report the bug.

Thanks.

Just my way of doing things, do what suits your setup but i prefer having dual ESP’s

Yeah sure. Is there an archwiki for dual ESPs?

Not sure i doubt it. But it’s very simple just create another

I’d stick with single ESP and systemd-boot personally, but that’s my preferred way

Systemd-boot and uefi boot menu here

Hmm.. I will explore further

I found that the bug has already been reported.

So I just left my comment there on GH.

Thanks.

How can i fix conflicting packages?

Which exact packages?

mariadb-libs and libmysqlclient are in conflict

Why do you need both MariaDB and MySQL on the same host?

I am just using mysql.

So why do you need MariaDB libraries?

I was working fine till yesterday, just today these both are in conflict

they always been in conflict (mysql maintainer)

I don’t neend them. Earlier there was a version of mariadb on my system, but after sometime i switched to mysql. I guess some of the dependencies of mariadb are still remaining

you have to choose among one of the two only
