I got a strange error today trying to make a new installation with the 022018 iso
I had set everything up ready to install and it prompted me that the /mnt was not ready, I thought I had already mounted.
Mounting was giving me an error "unknown file system ext4"
I tried deleting it, formating, checking, remounting ... nothing. It couldn't be mounted.
I had used this same image before and it worked the only difference was that it updated something from github, but the error doesn't seem installer related but system related on that iso.

difficult to know what's happen with this few informations. The change on github doesn't concern mountpoint part. this is weird because you had be able to install the things one time before.
Hum, i have a thought, do you have updated the ISO before trying to do an install? if the kernel package was updated and you don't do a reboot, this kind of glitch can happen. So, if it the case, do not update the ISO and try it again.

I do an update -Sy so I can install a couple things while on live, but I may have done what you describe, an -Suy and that may have made the difference. I've never seen such an error before.

Something similar happened today elsewhere (not on obarun) and while that system was updating I was playing with gparted, making a partition smaller and moved it to back it up into a smaller archive with dd.
It seems as the kernel was updated while doing so and the gparted after finishing its work it said "failed to inform kernel" "reboot" before you change anything next. I lost my color for a while, the moved shunk partition seemed empty when gparted updated. I rebooted and it was all there again.
