systemd-sysinstall with Live System configuration is failing with mkfs

[utezduyar]

I just built the latest particleos. I am booting the image with mkosi vm and try to install the image to the attached drive using the Live System profile.

truncate -s 20G ~/blank.raw
sudo ./mkosi/bin/mkosi vm -- \
  -drive file="$HOME/blank.raw",format=raw,if=virtio

The selected disk has enough free space for an installation of the OS.
The selected disk contains no partitions, proceeding.
