if /dev/disk/by-id/xxx is just a link to /dev/sdx then im not sure what would grub to fail I think this link is made by systemd-udevd and happens quite late | 23:29:00 |

 matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Anyone wanna review https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/325619 so I can improve disko with https://github.com/nix-community/disko/pull/698 | 18:24:04 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Or offer a better idea | 18:24:30 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | lassulus: fwiw k900 suggested something about binfmt namespaces making this less of an issue | 18:32:13 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | binfmt is an impurity, so in flakes can be modelled as packages.x86_64-linux-binfmt for example | 18:32:28 |

| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | dare we make platform quads instead of platform triples? Lol | 18:32:52 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | pkgsBinfmt could exist in a binfmt namespace world | 18:33:09 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | but for the time being this customQemu work around, allows you to do what you want | 18:33:22 |

| nrv | What might be the reason disko can't cryptsetup? (cannot resolve path /dev/mapper/my-name) (it's not used) | 09:45:24 |
| nrv | I don't know what to say. Disko/sgdisk/linux just behaves randomly for some reason | 09:46:30 |
 lassulus | when does this happen? | 09:47:37 |
| lassulus | during formating or booting? | 09:47:43 |
| nrv | At first i think miscalculated the sizes. sgdisk would say cannot make partition and refuse going further. That is ok.
But then this, and also partprobe broke and said to reboot, and also sgdisk were spitting random numbers instead of ones that i give to it | 09:48:07 |

during formating or booting? Formatting, i use --mode format | 09:48:26 |

| nrv | This is insanity | 09:49:03 |
| lassulus | maybe some partition of the disk is in use? are you doing this from a live image? what does the config look like | 09:49:16 |
| nrv | The config is... complicated in addition to all the trouble, i'm trying to do 1M BIOS offset + 600G luks zfs and then -1G reserve at the end and -512M off that ESP -4096 off that ext4 boot.
For the time being i commented out the end part and try to create only the BIOS + main partition part.
No part of the disk is in use. I blkdiscarded and sgdisk --zapped it and rebooted and partprobed and whatever multiple times.
It is also healthy disk that i can manually partition and use | 09:54:00 |
