@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameLike these?09:18:53
@k900:0upti.meK900Yep09:19:18
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameWeird... I have my /tmp on tmpfs as well (at least I think so)09:19:41
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson CopperflameFun fact: Those appear in my backups09:20:13
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson Copperflame * "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.deArson CopperflameI do indeed have swap enabled, so that might be it11:18:53

@nzbr:nzbr.deArson Copperflame 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.deArson CopperflameIt'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.deArson Copperflame 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
@nzbr:nzbr.deArson Copperflame They should validate that file, when you try to boot the WSL VM, but probably decided that the don't want it to not boot if there's something wrong. But like - at least print a warning or something like that 17:16:33
