 @aktaboot:tchncs.de | I dont have plymouth | 21:26:10 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | I just haver 15 initrd | 21:26:14 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | * I just have 15 initrds | 21:26:18 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | And how big is the typical one of them? | 21:26:43 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | 25.4 MiB | 21:26:57 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | that still seems weirdly large... | 21:27:30 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | true, I have cryptsetup | 21:27:46 |
| @aktaboot:tchncs.de | that should make it bigger. The thing I'm worried about is that I do not have 15 generations, I have 5 | 21:28:51 |
| @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 |
