 netpleb | here is the disk-config.nix:
{
disko.devices = {
disk = {
sda = {
type = "disk";
device = "/dev/sda";
content = {
type = "gpt";
partitions = {
boot = {
name = "boot";
size = "1M";
type = "EF02";
};
esp = {
name = "ESP";
size = "500M";
type = "EF00";
content = {
type = "filesystem";
format = "vfat";
mountpoint = "/boot";
};
};
root = {
size = "40G";
content = {
type = "btrfs";
extraArgs = [ "-f" ]; # Override existing partition
mountpoint = "/";
mountOptions = [ "compress=zstd" "noatime" ];
};
};
data = {
size = "100%";
content = {
# type = "btrfs";
extraArgs = [ "-f" ]; # Override existing partition
# mountpoint = "/data";
# mountOptions = [ "compress=zstd" "noatime" ];
};
};
};
};
};
};
};
}
I want that partition currently called "data" to not be mounted and I also do not really even care if it is formatted. I just want the partition to exist. Does that make sense?

| netpleb | actually, I figured it out. Looks like just leaving out the mountPoint and mountOptions attributes did the trick! | 16:46:49 |

 lassulus | You can leave content empty in the partition | 16:54:39 |
|  networkException (moving to @networkexception:nwex.de) changed their display name from networkException to networkException (moving to @networkexception:nwex.de). | 18:33:42 |

 matthewcroughan | How come the homeless-shelter is found on images built with disko? | 17:38:24 |
| matthewcroughan | I have /homeless-shelter | 17:38:30 |
| matthewcroughan | maybe because of leaky builds? | 17:38:36 |
 maralorn | My luks prompt on boot says "password for disk disk-system-system-vault (system)" which is annoyingly redundant. 😄 | 19:13:40 |
| maralorn | I can change three things now the name of the disk in disko, the name of the partition and the name of the mounted luks container. | 19:14:35 |
| maralorn | Question 1: Which of those identifiers is stateful on disk? i.e. I need to change it before I can reboot successfully. | 19:15:31 |
| maralorn | Question 2: Any recommendations how to call what?^^ | 19:15:48 |
| maralorn | Figured it out. | 20:11:06 |
| maralorn | Needed to change the partition labels nothing else. I actually got that right one reboot, no recovery needed. Kinda proud. 😄 | 20:12:02 |

| maralorn | Now it says "disk-nixos-zeus-system-vaulat (crypted-root-fs)" much more informative. | 20:12:49 |

| maralorn | How relevant is it to explicitly set a priority field? | 22:02:49 |

 hexa | I think it affects the ordering? | 00:00:43 |
| hexa | https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/docs/table-to-gpt.md | 00:01:38 |
| maralorn | Yeah, the question is whether the ordering matters. I assume that since disko mounts by label the order is completely irrelevant for mounting and only needed for partitioning. So theoretically it doesn’t even have to be deterministic. | 09:01:10 |
| maralorn | I mean if it is important to me that swap definitely is after efi I can annotate it, but if I don’t care I can just use whatever disko comes up with, don’t I? | 09:02:19 |
| lassulus | yes | 09:30:24 |
| lassulus | it sometimes matters for the ef02 partition if you do legacy booting on gpt | 09:30:39 |
| lassulus | but on my machines even that didn't matter | 09:30:49 |
| maralorn | How does disko disambiguate if two partitions have the same priority? I assume it’s then basically depending on the order Nix does attrsToList? | 22:18:16 |
