Vladimír Čunát | The 240M /boot on the haumea machine is a real pain. | 06:41:33 |
Vladimír Čunát | Oh, nixos-rebuild copies some stuff in before cleaning up the obsolete files 🤦 | 06:46:18 |
Vladimír Čunát | * Oh, nixos-rebuild copies some stuff in before cleaning up the obsolete files, so it's unable to recover without manual deletions 🤦 | 06:46:39 |
sterni | vcunat: I ran into this as well in the last month and diagnosed it to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/f2ca99055823b3c2ce762ea2d4a315086a530c3d | 11:42:47 |
sterni | i.e. this used to not be a problem since it would always re write everything | 11:43:25 |
sterni | I am planning to write a patch for the failure mode where it copies a file and runs out of disk space by just deleting the partially copied file; haven’t gotten around to it yet probably will do so on the weekend | 11:44:27 |
sterni | but I’m not sure this would fix all possible ways in which this can break | 11:44:42 |
Vladimír Čunát | 🤔 I thought these were 25.05 systems, though, i.e. before that commit. | 11:44:45 |
sterni | ah you may be right | 11:45:26 |
sterni | well then at least you don’t have the issue that a partially copied initrd is never re-written and the machine kernel panics on boot :p | 11:46:00 |
Vladimír Čunát | But now on another 25.05 system it did recover from df of zero. | 11:46:03 |
Vladimír Čunát | * But now on another 25.05 system it did recover from df /boot of zero. | 11:46:10 |
Vladimír Čunát | IIRC it failed on /boot/background.png or something like that. Unfortunately I've lost those terminals on reboot. | 11:48:23 |
hexa | there are plans to replace haumea | 11:53:02 |
hexa | with the machine we talked about weeks ago | 11:53:12 |
hexa | and we will absolutely fix the efi partition then | 11:53:42 |
