As far as clarity and conciseness are concerned, you've become increasingly adept at explaining fairly complex issues. I remember watching the process of creating subvolumes, creating the corresponding directories, unmounting and remounting with the specific mount options a long time ago (in one of Unicks(.de)'s videos) and I did not understand precisely why the mounting and unmounting had to be done. With your explanation, though, I think even beginners will know WHY you have to follow these steps one after another.

Two thumbs up on this Arch Linux install with BTRFS. I am writing down notes on this install. What I plan on doing is install via ssh from a HOST computer to a target machine were I can just copy paste from my notes into a terminal connected to the target machine via ssh. Pretty simple also a repeatable install technique I use all the time now. Just boot the target machine from your Arch Linux install USB, create a password , passwd, then systemctl start sshd, then use ip a to get the ip address (inet 10.0.0.52 ) then move over to the HOST machine to login via ssh terminal (like in this example: (ssh root@ipaddress ) use your notes to copy and paste the details of the install. Very repeatable over many computer installs! I use it on my Gentoo base installs and then days later compiling the required GUI components. Excellent video and I learn something new from you all the time! :)
And finally, I've installed ArchFromaScratch, and I'm happy -) Thank you, Sir, for your video. It has arrived on time. The installation has been performed with no issues at all. The only thing I had to add later is to restart PipeWire service in /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default because no sound devices were available in gnome after log off/log in (alsa saw everything, but nothing was at a higher level). I have two USB sound cards attached.
I just stumbled onto your channel cause of a fellow subscriber in another video, and I'm glad I did. Great work! Boy is it really useful, lol. In any case, keep doing what you're doing! You're the best I know at this!
Arch Linux Install never gets old. Thanks Ermano. I have two disk in my laptop but i did not know how to install in BTRFS, of course ext4 works great but i like to try. Also a miss the last install video, sorry. :-(
3:40 If you have /dev/vda2 mounted at /mnt, you could also use `btrfs device add /mnt /dev/vdb1` to add the secondary partition to the btrfs file system. This is helpful if you decide to change disks after the fact.
Thank you for detailed instructions on monthly install. All of us really appreciating your hard work on it. Well, I have one question: if I have UHD graphics (embedded in CPU) does it will work with Wayland? Or may be any issues with that? P.S. CPU = i5 10th Gen
For now I'm stuck with xorg because of nvidia. I really want to use Wayland but it's giving me hard times , as I don't use gnome and KDE that much. Let's hope for better support for this in future
Hello EF! I used "btrfs check" to repair my usb and also laptop installation of arch, last year, many times. "btrfs check" works and the warning in the arch wiki should be amended with praise for it and its use. Including it in the BINARY parameter of Grub is advised especially if one doesn't make an usb repair stick. There maybe complex installation with which "btrfs check" may have problems but, for a straight forward install "btrfs check" will succeed and Arch users should learn and know about it as useful for BTRFS install.
nice, I use nvidia on my desktop so can’t use wayland but have been looking into that. On my latest Arch install I used the systemd mount instead of fstab and homed to create the user and home directory, would be nice to see an installation like that on here. ☺️
oh, and using the EFI boot manager, before I used the bootd that comes with systemd. The only difference is having to create the unified image to boot, but that’s simple and can be scripted into a hook in pacman
Thanks for the tutorial, Ermanno ! I'd like to ask you a (maybe stupid) question about the btrfs filesystem : I've installed arch with btrfs some months ago, and now I'd like to change some mount options. Is it possible to do it safely on a partition which already contained datas ? And, if so, how ? I didn't find the answer on the wiki.
As a test, I tried modifying the fstab options and didn't have any issue, but I can't tell you if it's really the best way. It's something I haven't researched enough yet to give a definitive answer. However, it works with other fs, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't on btrfs.
@@eflinux I was thinking about modifying the fstab file, but, to be precise, I was a little worried about modifying the compress option (lzo to zstd). I will run some tests before doing it on my main system. Thank you very much for your answer, I really appreciate !
Thank you for a great video! now I know how to manually partition btrfs and learned about zram. Have you thought about video on installing arch linux with ZFS? I know that ZFS is not preffered in Linux (license and stuff) but I haven't found a convincing ZFS tutorial
@@ДедМороз-р7д I think bcachefs is still under development and not supported out of the box. You need to compile kernel specific to it. For more information, please refer bcachefs.org/ Correct me if I'm wrong.
Finally a Wayland installation, thank you :) sorry for this stupid question but how did you know the "ef00" code? Or is this code everywhere the same? So to have Wayland I only need to skip Xorg in the installation?
Great video Ermanno, thank you. I have a quick question though, I have go installed through pacman, but when I've installed zramd it seems to install another folder called go in my home folder that seems to be from github regardless of checking to see if go is installed. Do you know if this folder can be safely deleted once zramd is running, or is it part of a dependency? Cheers, Paul.
Hi Ermanno, great tutorial as usual! In one of the previous btrfs arch installs you made a separate subvolume for snapshots but not in this one. Is it no longer necessary to do so? (or in what cases is it required/useful?)
You should make an Arch install video with BTRFS and full disk encryption using GRUB and EFI. That would be very nice and there isn't a single video like that on RUclips. You can even set it up to only have to type the password once instead of twice to decrypt the disk.
very good tutorial I also wanted to install arch linux with btrfs in legacy bios I suffered a bit but I already became more expert although I prefer the installation with light plasma that does not have much bloatdware the bad thing about the session with wayland is that it goes well with nvidia but the gtk issues has too many bugs the session with plasma wayland in arch linux cpu consumption always shoots up, which does not happen with gnome that you recommend to fix those bugs
Could you please do next time an install like this but then with encryption also? And show us at which point exactly we execute "mkinitcpio -P" ? Copy and paste from the Arch installation guide Initramfs Creating a new initramfs is usually not required, because mkinitcpio was run on installation of the kernel package with pacstrap. For LVM, system encryption or RAID, modify mkinitcpio.conf(5) and recreate the initramfs image: # mkinitcpio -P Thank you verry much in advance Ermanno. Herzlichsten Dank vorab Ermanno :-)
Subvolumes are created on a file system, unless you want to specifically have a subvolume on a second disk. You can also create a single file system spreading in two disks.
Wayland requires KMS, so if you installed the "nvidia" driver, make sure you add "nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm" in the modules section of the mkinitcpio.conf file. After that regenerate mkinitcpio and reboot.
Hi, thanks for the video. Unfortunately I have a problem at 11:36 and I absolutely can't past through here.

Hi Ermanno, i've following this installation steps and got success, thanks for your great video btw :) but the problem is the Timeshift is keep crash whenever i try to open it. I've tried install the regular timeshift and also timeshift-bin, run 'sudo timeshift-gtk' in the terminal it said that was error from the btrfs partition, something like that. :( I'll update the error message in this comment later, can you please help this? Edit: Error message are below when run 'sudo timeshift-gtk': First run mode (config file not found) Selected default snapshot type: BTRFS App config loaded: /etc/timeshift/timeshift.json E: ts: Failed to get partition list.
The problem with @var subvolume is that the pacman database lives in /var. So if you roll back, the database dont match the system. My solution is to just move it to /usr during install... probably not recommended, but haven't caused any problems for me. mv /var/lib/pacman/ /usr/lib/pacman/ ln -sf ../../usr/lib/pacman/ /var/lib/pacman sed -i 's/^#\?\(DBPath\s\+=\).\+/\1 \/usr\/lib\/pacman\//' /etc/pacman.conf

The trouble I am having is with how do I unlock the all encrypted disks during boot (I used same password for all of them). Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do?
It’s a repository refresh, not an upgrade or partial upgrade. Sometimes it’s needed otherwise I had errors of Pacman skipping some packages during the install.
@@eflinux I just checked your repo and the Gnome.sh is still different than the one you have in this video. Could you please put it up there? Thank you

There is no base install script in the github link you posted. Am I doing something wrong here??
Go to gitlab.com/eflinux and check the public repository. There is a uefi install and mbr install script.
@@eflinux Thank you!!
You did a partial upgrade with that "pacman -Syy" in the script. Definitely something to avoid
It’s a repository refresh, not an upgrade or partial upgrade. Sometimes it’s needed otherwise I had errors of Pacman skipping some packages during the install.
Thank you!!
can you use zram on artix linux with openrc?
The gnome.sh on your site does not reflect the one in this video.
It’s possible. I update my repo from time to time. The public one can be forked to create a new one.
@@eflinux Can you commit the gnome.sh that is in this video? Please?
Will do ASAP.
@@eflinux Thank you
@@eflinux I just checked your repo and the Gnome.sh is still different than the one you have in this video. Could you please put it up there? Thank you
Hi Ermanno I was doing a install and then I got stuck at the part where you download the install scripts. But it’s asking for password! Is there a way around ?
You need to use the public one in the video description :)
Your picture is covering the text so I can not make heads or tails in what you are doing.
I don't edit the root password or username ....so I don't have idea what's the password now, and I install linux-zen....what I miss?
If you used the script the password should be "password".
@@eflinux oh, I try it but can't login.... O-o.... Or just my keyboard die, thanks
Hahaha trying to save time should have used yay it needs go 😂
Yes... Unfortunately if you use Archlinux, you have to reinstall each month... Go Debian...
No, you don't t have to. Once installed Arch is always up to date. I do monthly installs to showcase different ways of building it.
You got it wrong mate!
Did they remove that abomination of an installer ?
I don’t think so, but I didn’t try it out this time.
first!!
Thank you !
