Attempt Arch Linux LVs reconfiguration in Post-installation phase

Following below is an attempt Arch Linux LVs reconfiguration in Post-installation phase.  Original LVs layout configuration  cannot be changed during archinstall active state. After archinstall finishes up we are going to switch to terminal session via "exit" option rather then reboot .











Exit to command line instead of immediate reboot and undertake following steps. Notice that root LV was increased in mounted state and procedure has succeeded.

Start reading snapshot  at : File system ext4 found on /dev/ArchinstallVg/root mounted at /mnt . . . .  

Filesystem at /dev/ArchinstallVg/root is mounted on /mnt : online resizing is required old_desc_blocks = 3 , new_desc_blocks = 7  .  .  .  .

resize2fs done

Extended filesystem ext4 on ArchinstallVg/root

Logical volume /dev/ArchinstallVg/root successfully resized































Now reboot. Compare `lsblk -f` report and content of /etc/fstab
