 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | * For stage 1, most people probably just want DHCP on one or all of the physical interfaces, as configured typically with networking.useDHCP or networking.interfaces... (often generated by nixos-generate-config). Then stage 2 can take over network configuration and add any fancier things on top of that, but presumably most people will still want those same interfaces configured with DHCP | 16:44:48 |
 @hexa:lossy.network | so your intent is to save one DHCP roundtrip in that scenario | 16:45:50 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | My intent was mainly to follow the suggestion in the systemd-networkd man page, and it made enough sense to me to make it default but still implement the flush behavior for those who want it | 16:46:41 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | but also | 16:46:42 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | there's things like root on NFS that would rely on having flushing disabled | 16:46:52 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | personally I configure a dedicated IPv6 address in stage1, and something else in stage2, so that I don't get conflicting hostkeys on SSH 🙂 | 16:47:03 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | no strong opinion, as you said I can enable flushing | 16:47:44 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | * no strong opinion, as you said I can enable flushing and I will | 16:47:50 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | since it is configurable I don't see it as a blocker fwiw | 16:48:34 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | the default also doesn't bother me too much | 16:48:44 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Yea I think we'll leave flushing disabled by default when systemd initrd is enabled (and enabled by default with regular initrd, since that's the existing behavior). flokli does that sound ok to you? | 16:49:52 |
 flokli | Sorry, i was busy with family stuff all day and couldn't get to reply on messages | 16:50:45 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | no worries | 16:50:54 |
| flokli | I'll reply in a bit | 16:51:27 |
 @arianvp:matrix.org | Slight preference on opt in flushing from my side | 16:51:43 |
| @arianvp:matrix.org | But fine either way | 16:51:47 |
