I can probably run pacstrap inside script and clean script output up as it's created then use grep on the output to find the bad mirrors to weed out. More than one package failed every mirror in the mirrorlist the other day. Warning I think is a little too weak for this kind of failure. I didn't check the return code once pacstrap finished but I'll likely do that next.
