 Arian | because systemd-repart runs before sysroot is mounted | 21:49:04 |
| Arian | not after | 21:49:08 |
| Arian | so how does it know the device of /sysroot? | 21:49:19 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Well, it can. It can work either way. | 21:49:45 |
| Arian | https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/units/systemd-repart.service.in#L17 | 21:50:03 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | If you don't have a separate /usr partition, then IIRC initrd-usr-fs.target isn't reached until /sysroot is mounted | 21:50:04 |
| Arian | aaah | 21:50:12 |
| Arian | I see | 21:50:15 |
| Arian | and they assume /usr and / on same disk so works out | 21:50:44 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | right | 21:51:20 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | fun fact | 21:51:32 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | there's a slight race condition there | 21:51:37 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Whether /sysroot is mounted before or after systemd-repart checks that path for definitions files is a race I'm pretty sure | 21:52:09 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | when you have a separate /usr that is | 21:52:19 |
| Arian | isn't that handled by Before=initrd-root-fs.target | 21:52:43 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | No. sysroot.mount is Before=initrd-root-fs.target | 21:53:05 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | It's After=initrd-root-device.target, but systemd-repart.service has no ordering with that | 21:53:26 |
| Arian | ah yeh that's a bug | 21:54:34 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | tbh there's a lot that's cursed about upstream's initrd stuff due to how heavily they rely on their expectations about /sysroot and /sysusr | 21:55:07 |

|  @mberndt:matrix.org joined the room. | 23:22:21 |
|  @ulli:hrnz.li joined the room. | 23:24:37 |
| @mberndt:matrix.org | I've added a module to enable booting from a root file system on a Stratis volume. All input is welcome.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/229767
It would be nice to test this, but I have almost no experience with Nix or NixOS, so I don't really know where to start. | 23:25:32 |
| @mberndt:matrix.org | Nick Cao, you packaged Stratisd, right? So this might be of interest to you | 23:26:12 |
| @mberndt:matrix.org | I'm not using Clevis myself, so I haven't added support for that yet. | 23:27:15 |
| @mberndt:matrix.org | Also it would be nice if nixos-generate-config could automatically detect stratis volumes and configure things appropriately. I might do these things in a future version, but for now I'd like to get this MVP-type thing merged ;-) | 23:29:32 |

| @mberndt:matrix.org | Oh, and probably not every single one of the crypto modules is needed 😅 But I don't know which ones could be needed, so I just added a whole bunch of them. #worksOnMyMachine | 23:33:00 |

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | mberndt: Did you test that without plymouth? Because my guess it that it should work without plymouth, if it uses systemd-ask-password. | 00:28:21 |
| @mberndt:matrix.org | Benutzt es aber nicht | 05:41:48 |
