[BUG] parted newer than 3.4-2 creates the partitions/filesystems "bad for GRUB"

Good day, friends! Just letting you know that a parted newer than 3.4-2 - if used for creating the partitions/filesystems at Artix Linux - InstallationWithFullDiskEncryption - causes GRUB to fail with " grub-install: error: unknown filesystem " on a later step (this doesn't seem a GRUB fault, because downgrading GRUB does not help). As a temporary workaround, I had to add this part to the instructions:
Code: [Select]
pacman -U "https://archive.artixlinux.org/packages/p/parted/parted-3.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst"
Maybe we need to supply an older parted 3.4-2 version as the default one?

P.S. Everything else is working great, thank you so much for Artix

Perhaps a better idea would be to bring this to the attention of the parted devs so it can be properly addressed

it's not proper place to post as this place is of non-systemd Arch Linux

Has nothing to do with OP's stuff
