 matthewcroughan | That is the only thing preventing me from using disko atm, I will eventually figure this out and make a PR | 16:40:11 |
 lassulus | Maybe it's easier to reuse the new disko-install command with an image file outside the nix sandbox | 16:51:02 |

Yeah, it deleted all of my data if there wasn't something correct in the setup. Like no /persist/system or wrong permissions on /persist/home (in second scenario, home manager just failed to start completely). Though it is probably the fault of impermanence.
But for now, it works on my machine™. Feel free to send your final setup, I will happily steal it ;) i got everything working, git repo is not ready yet, and the setup took many manual steps to do | 18:14:11 |

 zonnebloem | Hi all
During a nixos-rebuild switch, my system froze.
After a hard reset my system doesn't boot anymore. It shows a grub prompt. Is there a way to make it boot? and repair it? Or do I need to reinstall the system with a live image and backup some date to a backup disk?
My guess is my system crashed during the grub update ..
I'm using disko with 2 mirrored ssd's: 1G vfat boot & luks-zfs rpool
I'm using grub because systemd boot didn't work for this mirror. | 15:23:12 |
 SigmaSquadron | You can try pointing grub to the NixOS kernel and initrd for your latest generation, and booting manually. Once you’re booted, rebuild the system with the --install-bootloader option. | 15:26:59 |
| SigmaSquadron | Alternatively, mount your disks on a NixOS live image and run nixos-install --no-root-password. | 15:27:26 |

| zonnebloem | Could you point me towards a source which explains the first option? | 15:30:53 |

| SigmaSquadron | The paths will be more complicated, since they also include the hashes of the package, but the general gist of it is defined in the manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/grub.html#GNU_002fLinux | 15:33:47 |
| SigmaSquadron | search for your root, set your kernel, use the initrd command to boot. | 15:34:22 |
| SigmaSquadron | Though this might be very difficult if you aren’t already used to the GRUB CLI. The NixOS wiki has a nice walkthrough on how to do this from a NixOS installation image: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Bootloader#Re-installing_the_bootloader | 15:35:33 |

| zonnebloem | thank you | 17:06:52 |
| zonnebloem | I couldn't get it to work, I'm backing up and reinstalling | 17:07:18 |
| SigmaSquadron | There probably isn’t a need to reinstall the entire system, just mounting and rebuilding should work. | 18:09:20 |

| vartroc | Hi everyone, I would ask you to please just take a look at my config, answer some questions and maybe give some recommendation.
First, my questions:
- extraArgs = ["-f"]` What does this do?
- if I first specify 25%FREE for root at the lvm-lvs and then specify 100%FREE for games, 25% of the file is for root and 75% is for games, right?
Here my config:
