[OPEN] swap partition creation failures

[_sasmw]

I've tried to install arcoplasma, and I'd like to have swap with hibernation, I tried installation without hibernation, but no success.
I don't know if this is related, but I have 192GB RAM, and swap partition was to be 102GB.

Here is the log https://termbin.com/ch4m

Try it without LUKS

Umm, but I need luks.
Actually, I tried to find that sfdisk command from my local git clone, but I truly do not understand how this part of iso creation is built.

Maybe gdisk command would succeed, but I do not know whether this is part of Calamares installer or not.

The command Calamares is trying to run is

The src code is at: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/ ... ob.cpp#L50
There isn't much to go on here in terms of understanding the root cause of the failure.

Look on https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues and see if anyone has reported anything similar failing that create a new one.
