| cdata | Hi folks, I've been having some stuttering success with using Disko for the first time. I have a setup where I wish to test the configuration in a VM locally. I got a LUKS+Btrfs setup working great. Then, I tried to adapt it based on the LUKS+Btrfs+RAID1 example and ran into a problem.
Before I file a more detailed issue on Github, I was wondering if anyone had seen this error before and knew what I might be missing?
+ mount /dev/mapper/p2 /tmp/tmp.199fvLzrll -o subvol=/
[ 36.047665] BTRFS error (device dm-1): devid 2 uuid 25b46a4d-be57-4e52-b025-c1e603233b60 is missing
[ 36.048657] BTRFS error (device dm-1): failed to read the system array: -2
[ 36.050159] BTRFS error (device dm-1): open_ctree failed: -2
mount: /tmp/tmp.199fvLzrll: fsconfig() failed: No such file or directory.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.
This is using the Disko example almost verbatim (the one found here: https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/example/luks-btrfs-raid.nix). The only adaptation is that I removed the settings.keyFile.
| 21:11:43 |
| cdata | I was able to run the test for that example successfully, so I have a guess that there is something in my overall system configuration that is configured differently in the test. | 21:51:51 |

 mprasil | Is it in NixOS live CD? You might want to add --no-deps to let it use local tools rather than pulling dependencies. | 14:25:54 |
| bandithedoge | yeah, i gave up and ended up mounting with disko first and then just running nixos-install | 14:26:55 |
| mprasil | Yeah the live CD space is quite limited as it's all in memory. --no-deps helps somewhat. | 14:27:36 |
| mprasil | ❓️ What is the purpose of the if statement here or here? | 14:28:53 |
| mprasil | It seems to be some effort to not overwrite pre-existing partition. | 14:29:15 |
| mprasil | But I found it to be quite a footgun. For example it's pretty common that EFI partition is 1GB (or 500M) an due to that if statemen disko silenty didn't format my EFI partition because previously there was also EFI partition with same size. (so when disko recreated GPT, EFI "adopted" contents of previous vfat there) | 14:31:45 |
| mprasil | disko does prompt whether it should destroy data on the disk and --mode destroy,format,mount is also pretty explicit about what the user expects/wants. So this effort to preserve data feels quite a bit surprising. | 14:33:38 |
