 uep | I noted an issue on my test laptop the other day; didn't have time to look further yet. It has:
- rpool with native zfs encryption, prompted for passphrase during stage 1
- tpool, with native zfs encyption, prompted during stage 2 via extraPools
- plymouth (which is only used here and what i was testing last)
I hadn't used it in a while, and updated to current. The problem was that the second passphrase prompt with plymouth didn't get any keyboard input/focus/whatever. I suspect/assume it's something new with updated systemd, it worked fine before the upgrade. I got as far as confirming it also works normally if removing splash from the kernel boot commandline.

| uep | Can potentially look further on the weekend. It will also have jumped from 6.6.x to 6.12.x in the same upgrade | 01:15:04 |
| uep | I'm not sure how easy it will be to separate those things since they all landed in the same staging merge IIUC | 01:16:05 |

Is enc actually the name of your luks volume? No, It's crypted, I fixed that issue. | 09:04:38 |
| Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | I got permission issues when trying to delete the root subvol, And I fixed them using this command chattr -i /btrfs_tmp/root/var/empty, But the initrd I got this error chattr: command not found, How can I remove the file /btrfs_tmp/root/var/empty in the initrd? | 09:37:21 |

| Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | I added the option boot.initrd.systemd.packages = [ pkgs.busybox ];, But the problem persisted. | 09:56:06 |
| Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | I added the option boot.initrd.systemd.services.rollback.path = [ pkgs.busybox ];, And now I am getting mkdir: command not found? | 10:03:30 |
 ElvishJerricco | Rayane Nakib (ريان نقيب): chattr comes from e2fsprogs. It's also in busybox, but you probably wanna use the e2fsprogs one. Anyway, the way to add a specific binary to the initrd is boot.initrd.systemd.extraBin.chattr = "${pkgs.e2fsprogs}/bin/chattr"; | 14:27:50 |
| ElvishJerricco | Anyway can't you just delete the subvolume, rather than rm'ing it? | 14:30:16 |
| ElvishJerricco | then you wouldn't even need the chattr | 14:30:26 |
| ElvishJerricco | Yea, there's a btrfs subvolume delete command | 14:31:22 |
| Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
Yea, there's a btrfs subvolume delete command This command doesn't work | 14:32:37 |
| Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | even with --commit-after option | 14:33:11 |
| ElvishJerricco | why not? | 14:33:21 |
| ElvishJerricco | the command is there for a reason; presumably it's capable of working | 14:33:37 |
| Rayane Nakib (ريّان نقيب) | I don't know?! I am not on my PC right now, But I will post the error message that I get when I get the chant | 14:34:22 |

| Alyssa Ross | I do a very similar thing in initrd, although I'm still on the non-systemd one I think | 14:36:28 |
| ElvishJerricco | sidenote, the impermanence readme really ought to include a solid systemd initrd example. | 14:36:32 |

sidenote, the impermanence readme really ought to include a solid systemd initrd example. And an option to just delete the old root, or keep only one version, I have limited space im my laptop, I can't have 30 days old files there. | 14:37:42 |
| Alyssa Ross | Being able to remove a directory without being able to recurse is to me the main appeal of subvolems | 14:38:23 |
