@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)Like these?09:18:53
@k900:0upti.meK900Yep09:19:18
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)Weird... I have my /tmp on tmpfs as well (at least I think so)09:19:41
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)Fun fact: Those appear in my backups09:20:13
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it) * "Fun" fact: Those appear in my backups09:20:19
@houstdav000:gh0st.ems.hosthoustdav000 Maybe its some kind of new "swap" implementation? Weird... 11:16:58
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)I do indeed have swap enabled, so that might be it11:18:53

@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it) houstdav000: Bingo! It's completely formatted as swap - not even a partition table 11:30:37
@k900:0upti.meK900So wait do they actually add swap by default 11:32:34

@k900:0upti.meK900Blerf11:33:43
@k900:0upti.meK900I guess I just have to remove that now11:33:50
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it)It's possible to set it to a static path, so that's what I did now. It's weird that these aren't properly cleaned up though11:36:14

@k900:0upti.meK900So uh17:00:47
@k900:0upti.meK900Pro tip17:00:48
@k900:0upti.meK900Make sure you escape backslashes in your .wslconfig17:01:00
@k900:0upti.meK900Or you'll end up with swap in %TEMP% and no disk space again17:01:11
@k900:0upti.meK900Also for the love of god please don't write any more software that uses loosely defined .ini files as config17:01:38
@k900:0upti.meK900At least use TOML17:01:47
@nzbr:nzbr.denzbr (they/it) That is good to know (i may or may not have just put some extra backslashes in there) 17:02:40
@k900:0upti.meK900To clarify17:14:10
@k900:0upti.meK900The failure mode for "swap location is not a valid path" is "whatever just stick it in %TEMP% who cares lmao"17:14:24
@k900:0upti.meK900Which is not a good failure mode17:14:31
@k900:0upti.meK900Honestly I am still very impressed by the fact that WSL somehow does not have an out of band error log17:15:42
@k900:0upti.meK900Like this feels like a thing that should have been there17:15:54
