hello to all fellow disko dancers/lovers
the drive is encrypted, and every time i boot it waits for this swap, but it's not there

                content = {
                  type = "btrfs";
                  extraArgs = ["-f"];
                  subvolumes = {
                    "/@SWAP" = {
                      mountpoint = "/.swapvol";
                      swap.swapfile.size = "(people will start asking why so much swap)G";
                    };
                  };
                };

@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusmaybe you want to set swap.swapfile.path instead of mountpoint?15:14:36
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusbut there is also a default value for that15:17:06
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusso maybe you don't need mountpoint?15:17:12

maybe you want to set swap.swapfile.path instead of mountpoint?
this is the easy way of doing this :D
15:18:37
@wieldable9080:matrix.im🎈 Always
In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
so maybe you don't need mountpoint?
btrfs subvolume swap has its pros, also it just looks nice
15:19:05
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulushmm, ok, reading the code again, it should also work with a mountpoint set15:20:24
@wieldable9080:matrix.im🎈 Alwaysdoing btrfs swapfile outside of a separate volume is probably a bad idea (has something to do with compression i think)15:20:26
@wieldable9080:matrix.im🎈 Always
In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
hmm, ok, reading the code again, it should also work with a mountpoint set
i think i took this code from the main repo :D
15:20:55
@wieldable9080:matrix.im🎈 Alwaysi mean, except the subvolume naming15:21:12
@lassulus:lassul.uslassuluswhats the error you see on boot?15:24:17
@wieldable9080:matrix.im🎈 Always
In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
whats the error you see on boot?
timeout waiting for the device which somewhere shows as this swap swap

@thevilsol:matrix.orgVilsolWhat is the intended way of using disko when doing a clean install with an existing config? Or do I need to do a non-graphical (manual) install?10:12:25

What is the intended way of using disko when doing a clean install with an existing config? Or do I need to do a non-graphical (manual) install?
Get your hardware configuration, and delete the fileSystems options. Import your disko configuration in your configuration.nix, and use disko-install to format and install the system.

Ammm, I saw this message and came to find out, like, what do you mean by "make"??

I have a disk-config.nix that does my partitioning for whenever provision a new instance of this type of machine (so I am just using nixos-anywhere ...). Can I just leave out the mountPoint and mountOptions in that disk-config?

@netpleb:matrix.orgnetpleb

here is the disk-config.nix:

{
  disko.devices = {
    disk = {
      sda = {
        type = "disk";
        device = "/dev/sda";
        content = {
          type = "gpt";
          partitions = {
            boot = {
              name = "boot";
              size = "1M";
              type = "EF02";
            };
            esp = {
              name = "ESP";
              size = "500M";
              type = "EF00";
              content = {
                type = "filesystem";
                format = "vfat";
                mountpoint = "/boot";
              };
            };
            root = {
              size = "40G";
              content = {
                type = "btrfs";
                extraArgs = [ "-f" ]; # Override existing partition
                mountpoint = "/";
                mountOptions = [ "compress=zstd" "noatime" ];
              };
            };
            data = {
              size = "100%";
              content = {
                # type = "btrfs";
                extraArgs = [ "-f" ]; # Override existing partition
                # mountpoint = "/data";
                # mountOptions = [ "compress=zstd" "noatime" ];
              };
            };
          };
        };
      };
    };
  };
}

I want that partition currently called "data" to not be mounted and I also do not really even care if it is formatted. I just want the partition to exist. Does that make sense?
