@netpleb:matrix.orgnetpleb joined the room.17:50:30
@netpleb:matrix.orgnetplebI have a flake nixos system but where the root partition is ext4 and I would like to convert it to btrfs. There are some tutorials for non-nixos systems to do this, but I am a little confused how to do it on nixos.17:52:10
@k900:0upti.meK900Generally, reinstall is your best option 17:54:49
@k900:0upti.meK900If you really want to avoid that, boot a live CD, btrfs convert, mount as btrfs, adjust config, nixos-install17:55:20
@netpleb:matrix.orgnetpleb

the git repo / flake which declares the system is currently on the root partition itself, so my thinking is something like the following should work:

  1. clone git repo to thumbdrive
  2. boot into some sort of recovery mode (or do I need a full live distro on another thumbdrive and boot into it?)
  3. do the conversion to btrfs (btrfs convert ...), mount it, and so on
  4. nixos-generate-config and grab the relevant parts of the new hardware config, put them in flake
  5. nixos-rebuild switch
