nbrr | Hi! Looking to use disko and I have a few questions:
- It seems guides on the disko repo are for new installs. Is there something about using disko for an existing install?
- Do I have to describe all existing disks with disko or can I just use disko for a single new drive I'm adding?
- I want to declare a disk with a couple of btrfs subvolumes. If I ever want to add more subvolumes, can I just add it to the disko declaration and have it perform the operation?

lassulus | disko works for already installed systems, although writing a disko configuration is a bit more involved than declaring fileSystems.* so there wouldn't be much real gain. You can define many disks and btrfs subvolumes and you can rerun the creation step and it "should" just add the new subvolumes. although that is a new and untested feature, so use it with care (and backups) | 12:38:53 |

Raj | Is there any work ongoing to support multi-disk filesystems? | 15:06:30 |
lassulus | We have support for some of those I think? Which one are you thinking of? | 15:20:04 |
Raj | I was thinking about bcachefs, with a single filesystem spread across multiple disks | 21:02:33 |

Tumble | If I was to use disko with zfs, how would I do stuff like replace hard drives? | 15:51:40 |
Tumble | Also how to add a cache drive? | 15:54:39 |

zerox | Hello, is there anyone who using disko with AWS? | 18:28:46 |
zonnebloem | Hi | 19:04:18 |
zonnebloem | I've been using disko for my luks zfs on boot mirror. Do you need to convert my config to the new 'topology'? Or can I continue using it? | 19:06:32 |

arjan5 | Anybody here already tried the new config.system.build.vmWithDisko command together with impermanence? I think there's a bug in the combination of those two, making the build fail with this error: Failed assertions: - environment.persistence: All filesystems used for persistent storage must have the flag neededForBoot set to true. Please fix or remove the following paths: /persist. Obviously I already have fileSystems."/persist".neededForBoot = true; in my config... | 14:16:36 |
