 @aktaboot:tchncs.de | I do have multiple specializations, but their initrds do not differ 🤔 | 21:29:25 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Even with both plymouth and luks in there, I only get 24M max... | 21:29:25 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | unless! kernel modules! | 21:29:34 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | it's the kernel modules for nvidia! | 21:29:44 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh | 21:29:56 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | I blame nvidia! | 21:29:57 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea a gpu driver would do it | 21:30:02 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | are gpu drivers included in initrd by default in nixos? | 21:30:18 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | My AMD driver isn't I don't think | 21:30:26 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | availableKernelModules = ["xhci_pci" "ahci" "nvme" "usb_storage" "usbhid" "sd_mod" "rtsx_usb_sdmmc"];
ok not nvidia, it's this | 21:31:41 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea my desktop has plymouth and networking enabled and it's only 27M, but I don't have amdgpu in there | 21:31:44 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I wouldn't expect any of those modules to add all that much space | 21:31:58 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | probably some old copy pasta from somewhere 🤔 I have no idea why I have these | 21:32:19 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | oh | 21:32:30 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | in fact the only one of those that isn't in my desktop's initrd is rtsx_usb_sdmmc | 21:32:36 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | and dm-snapshot | 21:32:54 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | I also don't have that one I don't think. But still that doesn't seem like a big space consumer | 21:33:25 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | what's the differenc ebetween boot.inird.kernelModules and boot.kernelModules ? | 21:34:21 |
 @lily:lily.flowers | You can unpack your initrd and see what's taking up so much space directly | 21:34:30 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | right' it's a cpio archive ? no .. it's an efi ? | 21:34:56 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | nix shell nixpkgs#dracut --run lsinitrd --unpack $(readlink -f /run/current-system/initrd) should unpack into current dir | 21:35:06 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | boot.initrd.kernelModules are the modules that must be loaded early during initrd. boot.kernelModules are the modules that must be loaded early during stage 2. boot.initrd.availableKernelModules are the modules that are available during initrd for on-demand loading | 21:35:11 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | cpio archive disguised as efi ? | 21:35:15 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | aktaboot: It's not an efi at all. No idea why it gets that suffix | 21:35:33 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
boot.initrd.kernelModules are the modules that must be loaded early during initrd. boot.kernelModules are the modules that must be loaded early during stage 2. boot.initrd.availableKernelModules are the modules that are available during initrd for on-demand loading thank's | 21:35:42 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | It's probably two cpios concatenated, with one compressed before concat | 21:35:42 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | (and if it's two, the first cpio is probably microcode and you probably don't care about it) | 21:36:20 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | In reply to @lily:lily.flowers
nix shell nixpkgs#dracut --run lsinitrd --unpack $(readlink -f /run/current-system/initrd) should unpack into current dir isn't that nix run ? | 21:38:15 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | In reply to @aktaboot:tchncs.de
isn't that nix run ? No because by default the dracut package would run dracut and we just want a specific bin from the dracut package | 21:38:37 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | for some reason it's not working | 21:39:02 |
