@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan notice how I've just guessed the by-partlabel paths and it's not happening by nix evaluation, and how I've had to use a recursive set to get the device path 14:24:24
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanThis also won't work in the image builder, it will only work for running the real disko script due to the dependency on the device path which will differ in the VM 14:24:49
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanAnother issue with using disko for embedded is that the label name is derived from the attributes16:01:57

@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan the name is disk-disk1-fip and not fip, but the u-boot bl2 (second stage bootloader) specifically reads this label and matches a string 16:02:24
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanSo this seems like another awkward point for disko, where I'm unable to coerce it into doing the right thing for the use-case16:02:50
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan

I managed to end up with the following error on bcachefs creation, maybe the diskoScript is too fast?

starting version 1.9: disk_accounting_v2 opts=compression=lz4
initializing new filesystem
going read-write
initializing freespace
IO error: Operation not permitted
