| kdn | so... does disko offer some configuration mode where I could:
- update configuration of my
zpool without erasing anything
- don't touch the other zpool that is there in the NixOS configuration
| 16:48:50 |
| kdn | ouch, seems like I did some "such" setup already before, guess I gotta analyze that and integrate with main repo https://github.com/nazarewk-iac/talos-configs/blob/main/k8s/05-1-nix-disks/daemonset.yaml | 16:54:34 |

 ed209 | as far as I can tell, disko still ignores the luks password check | 18:48:35 |
 magic_rb | Oh, actually! I have a thing for that, uh https://github.com/numtide/disko-zfs | 19:29:45 |

| kdn | wouldn't those refs (main's tarball) prevent fetching historical versions and require constant flake updates? | 08:55:52 |
| magic_rb | No, locked tarball protocol. Also, git.numtide.com is no longer publicly accessible, thats why we moved the project to github. I forgot to change the readme, oops | 08:58:28 |
| magic_rb | If you do end up trying disko-zfs please do let me know how it works for you :) | 08:59:14 |

| Exaltia | Hello. i may need a bit of help. i've tried to install a SYS-STOR from OVH. install finished, but it doesn't boot. it is probably a bad setup from my disko declarations.
I'm not sure what i have to change
https://pastebin.com/B88qcaht
This is the first time i've done such a configuration without using examples from the disko
| 19:37:32 |
| Exaltia | from the rescue, partitions have been setted up "correctly" | 19:37:58 |

| Exaltia | finally fixed my mistakes! | 15:39:48 |

 momo | Hi, I’m installing nixos in a vm using disko. The installation finishes without errors, but when booting into the system, it drops into emergency mode because /dev/disk/by-partlabel/ROOT cannot be found.
I’ve verified that /dev/disk/by-partlabel/ROOT does exist and can be mounted manually from the iso.
This is my disko config: https://github.com/god464/flake/blob/master/hosts/server/disk.nix
Is there anything I’m missing?
| 14:01:11 |
| momo | Additionally, I replaced my disko configuration with example/btrfs-only-root-subvolume.nix from the disko repository, but the same issue still occurs.. Maybe another flake module/setting conflicts with disko? | 14:13:12 |

| markus.lohmayer | Hope someone can help: Have tiny home server/router with two USB SSDs forming a ZFS mirror. Also each disk has swap and ESP partition. One disk seems to die now (dmesg says usb 3-1: device not accepting address). Even though ZFS should give redundancy, the system becomes unresponsive. Boot loader is on the dying disk. Adding the mountpoint on the second disk does not have effect after rebuild and reboot:
ESP = {
size = "512M";
type = "EF00";
content = {
type = "filesystem";
format = "vfat";
mountpoint = "/boot-fallback"; # added
mountOptions = [ "umask=0077" ]; # added
};
};
Do I need to do something extra after changing the disko.nix file (adding the two lines above)?
I want to get redundancy for the bootloader. Do I need grub for this (used systemd-boot so far)?

| markus.lohmayer | Sorry, could have figured this one out directly: Need to create mountpoint manually | 10:12:02 |
