Re: Root.sh Disk group creation failed

Everything should be the default Linux sector size, which is 512. I didnt change anything on that. And I did partition them first. I initially partitioned with parted gpt partitions, and when I got the error I went back and cleaned them off and partitioned them with fdisk. It didnt make a difference.

The fun part of that process was disabling AFD by the way, that is something else that is poorly documented, and needs to be documented for a failed installation.
