@indium114:matrix.orgindium114I already have NixOS installed on my system, can I set up Disko without reinstalling or formatting my drive in the process?13:36:32
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbdisko doesnt handle post installation anything, so there isnt much point13:45:58
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbbut you could, just need to match your disko config to your on disk layout, rename the partitions correctly since disko mounts by partition name and not UUID and it'll work (ive donet this in the past)13:46:30
@indium114:matrix.orgindium114I mainly want to do it for the sake of easier reproducibility, and also not needing the graphical installer anymore (since I'm terrible at disk formatting with the CLI). Also, I have been considering reinstalling on btrfs. Can disko manage btrfs subvolumes, and how would I go about doing so?13:56:50

@focu5:rhakotis.xyzfocu5with respect to zfs, disko will create zfs datasets and volumes after installation 06:23:43
@focu5:rhakotis.xyzfocu5my workflow with new apps/servers is to update the disko config with a new app specific dataset and then rerun disko with format mode06:24:38
@focu5:rhakotis.xyzfocu5it doesn't reformat non zfs partitions (it seems to fail running the tools to partition) but it will create if not exists new zfs datasets/volumes and since it's linked to nixos via the disko nixos module also update the mounting to match06:26:46
@focu5:rhakotis.xyzfocu5 indium114 though i've never used btrfs or disko with btrfs, https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/5af7af10f14706e4095bd6bc0d9373eb097283c6/lib/types/btrfs.nix#L175 implies that subvolumes are created if it doesn't exist which suggests you could rerun disko and create new subvolumes as you expand your disko config (have not tested this) 06:36:51
@magic_rb:matrix.redalder.orgmagic_rbhttps://github.com/numtide/disko-zfs is safer :)10:54:08
@focu5:rhakotis.xyzfocu5til thanks11:02:08
