@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Emil Thorsøe: hm? Why nfs? | 07:19:43 |
@jkarlson:kapsi.fi | it decouples the processes from internal filesystem state | 07:20:03 |
@jkarlson:kapsi.fi | so filesystem could be effectively unmounted in any way that could cause corruption | 07:20:40 |
@jkarlson:kapsi.fi | note that such code is not really implemented, maybe autofs | 07:20:57 |
@jkarlson:kapsi.fi | I guess filesystemd could be written in a way that adds a nfs wrapper or libc | 07:26:34 |

@lily:lily.flowers | Is systemd-initrd not working with installer ISOs a known problem? It seems that they set root= on the kernel cmdline to the device label which contains the squashfs, but that doesn't play well with the tmpfs / filesystem defined in the fstab (and the fstab entry ends up getting ignored in favor of the cmdline root=, which is obviously wrong in this case) | 03:02:21 |
@lily:lily.flowers | (to be clear, the NixOS installer tests pass fine in the test framework, but those don't have to do the ISO trickery) | 03:02:53 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Yea that's known but not well explored. | 03:02:59 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | We've known the isos don't work all along but I don't think anyone's really investigated it | 03:03:17 |
@lily:lily.flowers | Hmm, I may look for a solution at some point then | 03:03:36 |
@elvishjerricco:matrix.org | That would be wonderful | 03:03:45 |
