A day after releasing their monthly ISO snapshot, the Arch Linux devs have put out a new version of the Archinstall menu-based installer that promotes LVM (Logical Volume Manager) support as production-ready.
Arch Linux 2025.09.01 was released yesterday as the first Arch Linux live ISO snapshot powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.16 kernel series, which should significantly boost hardware support when installing Arch Linux on newer computers. Arch Linux 2025.09.01 also shipped with the Archinstall 3.0.9 installer by default.
But Archinstall 3.0.10 is out today and promises stable LVM (Logical Volume Manager) support by removing its “BETA” tag from the LVM menu entry in the disk configuration section. The developers consider that LVM support has been thoroughly tested during its beta phase and that it’s now ready for mass consumption.
So if you’re planning on installing Arch Linux with LVM partitioning, which provides a flexible disk management system, you should definitely update Archinstall to version 3.0.10 before running the installation. To do that, you can simply run the sudo pacman -Sy archinstall command at the terminal prompt on the live ISO image.
Apart from taking LVM support out of beta, the Archinstall 3.0.10 release also adds support for setting up grub-btrfs correctly for Timeshift, fixes a PipeWire issue by moving additional packages down in the installation order, and disables Btrfs snapshots when no subvolumes are defined.
On top of that, Archinstall 3.0.10 promises to address a crash that occurred while installing the boot loader by adjusting the parsing of the systemd package version, fixes a type annotation issue for the list_available_packages function, and fixes the upgrade version header.
There are a couple of other core changes included in the Archinstall 3.0.10 release, so check out the release notes on the project’s GitHub page for more details, from where you can also download the source tarball if you fancy compiling it from sources, though you can simply install Archinstall from Arch Linux’s stable repos.
