 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | So if the hardware doesn't have a persistent MAC address, then udev probably generates a MAC address based on stuff like the machine-id or something, which we don't currently add to the initrd | 18:21:11 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | so without a machine-id, I bet it becomes random | 18:21:19 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | but | 18:21:21 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | My impression is that it's very odd if your hardware doesn't have a persistent MAC address | 18:21:36 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | so it should just be using that | 18:21:41 |

My impression is that it's very odd if your hardware doesn't have a persistent MAC address it almost definitely does, yeah. | 18:26:18 |

| Winter (she/her) | especially since udhcpc uses a persistent one | 18:27:19 |
| Winter (she/her) | is this worth opening an issue about, so at least it's recorded? | 18:31:22 |
| Winter (she/her) | can't think of what the issue would be configuration-wise. | 18:31:29 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | Probably | 18:31:56 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | we should probably try to create a nixos test to reproduce the problem | 18:32:34 |
 @uep:matrix.org | "and if it is used by the kernel" seems like one possible path of investigation | 22:26:15 |

| Copa Dium | I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but since I switched to initrd.systemd.enable I don't get a password prompt when using ZFS on luks. The service is just waiting for 1m30 and then I get an emergency shell. Is there something I have to configure manually? | 10:45:34 |

The service is just waiting for 1m30 and then I get an emergency shell. Is there something I have to configure manually? How did you configure luks? Is your config publicly available on github or anything? | 10:46:46 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | (It should figure it out from the boot.initrd.luks settings, or whatever they are called) | 10:47:04 |
| Copa Dium | It's not public but I used disko to configure it. | 10:47:07 |
| @lily:lily.flowers | I meant nixos config for luks | 10:47:26 |
| Copa Dium | Yeah disko does that too, my boot.initrd.luks is defined | 10:48:24 |
| Copa Dium | Systemd also has a job waiting on the device, but there just is no prompt | 10:48:46 |
| Copa Dium | This is what disko generated:
nix-repl> myhost.config.boot.initrd.luks.devices.encryptedpool
{ allowDiscards = true; bypassWorkqueues = false; crypttabExtraOpts = [ ... ]; device = "/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_34163169-part3"; fallbackToPassword = false; fido2 = { ... }; gpgCard = null; header = null; keyFile = null; keyFileOffset = null; keyFileSize = null; keyFileTimeout = null; name = "enc-rpool"; postOpenCommands = ""; preLVM = true; preOpenCommands = ""; tryEmptyPassphrase = false; yubikey = null; }
