 matthewcroughan | maybe both do and we still haven't found the reason, but it's interesting that cole identified it almost immediately | 11:37:25 |
 lassulus | yeah copying derivations is usually the step where we do OOM | 11:38:51 |
|  @shinri:zince.net left the room. | 12:37:47 |
 colemickens | no no | 14:57:14 |
| colemickens | so the issue is that there's a module option for memSize, that is ignored in the impure/script route. | 14:57:29 |
| colemickens | I can try to remember to send a small patch for that. | 14:57:38 |
| colemickens | The postVM example is also ... wrong (you can't glob like that in a script), and ALSO a bit scary, because the script just clobbers $out/disk0.raw, no matter what is there, and worse, if the globbing worked, would just hit every "*raw" in whatever $out happens to be. | 14:58:30 |
| colemickens | But also, yeah, it would be cool if it didn't use up a fair bit of ram just running 'cp' :) | 14:59:03 |

(In "impure" $out is just where you run the image script from!) | 14:59:43 |

| matthewcroughan | it's not very reproducible, just happens sometimes | 15:23:13 |
| matthewcroughan | maybe we could replace xargs and cp with rust based things and see if it still happens | 15:24:16 |
| matthewcroughan | There is rargs and fcp | 15:24:46 |
| matthewcroughan | * There is rargs and fcp both written in rust | 15:24:54 |
| matthewcroughan | * There is rargs and fcp or cn, both written in rust | 15:25:08 |
| matthewcroughan | * There is rargs and fcp, both written in rust | 15:25:57 |
| matthewcroughan | There's also https://github.com/uutils/coreutils | 15:27:50 |
| matthewcroughan | IDK, I've played with 10,000+ arguments in xargs before, you run out of some limit like the stack size limit | 15:29:39 |
| matthewcroughan | maybe rsync is a better idea than cp? | 15:29:56 |
| colemickens | That's what I was surprised at too, I'd expect to have hit max cmdline size with the args. | 15:30:05 |
| colemickens | Maybe? | 15:30:07 |
| colemickens | Not really on my list to dig into beyond maybe filing an issue. | 15:30:23 |
| matthewcroughan | hard to say, but it's really good to find that this might be the place where the issue is occurring | 15:30:28 |
| colemickens | BTW, I gushed a bit in the ARM room, but disko is really nice, thanks y'all! | 15:30:39 |
 Tumble | I wonder if I can happily forget fdisk now? | 15:42:26 |
| colemickens | I only had to use it to sanity check! :) | 15:57:23 |

 mannp ⚡️ | Hi all. I am using disko on the root disk on quite a few machines now and its worked well. I am wondering if after adding a separate 2g "data" disk I can add that to my disko config, and it will too get formatted as per the defn. Is that something that is supported? Thanks. | 13:59:36 |
