 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh, no | 23:20:06 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | We won't need to change the nix store path. /sysusr is meant to be seen as a chroot root | 23:20:53 |
 @nikstur:matrix.org | Ahh right | 23:22:00 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | We'd just have to make /sysusr/usr somehow a mountpoint pointing to the same device as /sysusr/nix/store, which I suppose means making it a bind mount to something | 23:22:33 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | I'll hack the device option (number 3) into the PR so that it falls back to number 2 when no device is specified. | 23:22:47 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | yea that's a good start | 23:23:04 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and likely all we'll really need | 23:23:11 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Yes I agree | 23:24:39 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | I'll try to write a test for creating a root partition too | 23:24:43 |
 Arian | That's awesome! | 23:31:40 |

| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | nikstur: Heh, I dunno if you were planning on doing the other suggestions in a separate PR, but #230777 was merged :P | 11:07:09 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Haha that's ok I'll just do a follow up | 11:07:49 |

I've reworked the Stratis root fs support. nixos-generate-config now does the right thing with stratis volumes, and the stratisroot module will make sure that all pools required to boot the machine are initialized in the initramfs. Could you take another look?
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/229767 | 03:07:43 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | mberndt: I'll take a look soon. Been feeling a little ill so I've been avoiding nixpkgs work for a couple of days | 13:34:40 |

mberndt: I'll take a look soon. Been feeling a little ill so I've been avoiding nixpkgs work for a couple of days Oh dear, I hope you get better soon! This isn't in any way urgent, so take whatever time you need | 17:29:33 |

| @nikstur:matrix.org | ElvishJerricco: isn't the stage 1 activation initrd-nixos-activation.service and the stage 2 activation nixos-activation.service? | 13:47:32 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | nikstur: .... yep. Got those names mixed up | 13:47:50 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | you can tell I'm having a foggy week :P | 13:47:59 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | but nixos-activation.service is a user service thing, not a system service thing | 13:48:49 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | not relevant to repart at all | 13:48:54 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Ah ok | 13:48:58 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Is /etc set up in initrd-nixos-activation.service? | 13:49:17 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | or in nixos-activation.service | 13:49:35 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
you can tell I'm having a foggy week :P No worries :D | 13:49:42 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | nikstur: nixos-activation.service is started for each user when that user logs in. Each user has their own systemd instance that runs with their permissions, and that starts user units like nixos-activation.service | 13:52:39 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | initrd-nixos-activation.service is a system service in stage 1 that runs the generation's activation script, which does things like setup /etc | 13:52:57 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | Right thanks | 13:53:46 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | I see how it doesnt make sense to order after nixos-activation.service then :D | 13:56:23 |
| @nikstur:matrix.org | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/232533 should be good to go then | 13:56:45 |
|  Charles ⚡️ joined the room. | 22:28:36 |
