@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughansystemd-repart has a really nice setup14:46:41
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan

systemd-repart (mostly) operates in a purely incremental mode: it only grows existing and adds new partitions; it does not shrink, delete or move existing partitions. The service is intended to be run on every boot, but when it detects that the partition table already matches the installed repart.

14:46:46
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanWhich more or less sound exactly like disko's philosophy, and some of the goals you have for your own incremental mode14:47:09
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanThis ended up being the final disko.nix for a pi to boot using bcachefs17:54:42

@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanhmm.. disko won't quite work for riscv due to its architecture, will it?18:37:30
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanThis same problem would be solved by running the vmTools on the hostPlatform, and allowing it to do binfmt, instead of treating the VM performing the disk partitioning/formatting as something that needs to run on the native platform18:38:17
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan * This same problem would be solved by running the vmTools on the hostPlatform, and allowing it to do binfmt, instead of treating the VM performing the disk partitioning/formatting as something that needs to run on the system arch of the nixosConfig18:38:37
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanMy next project was going to be making images for visionfivev1/218:42:05
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan * My next project was going to be making images for visionfivev1/2 that boot with bcachefs too18:42:13
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan

Is this perhaps another way that disko's architecture fails because of the hostPlatform issue?

@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanWhy does disko care?20:51:25
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughandisko is trying to load the kernel from my nixosConfig, but why? That should only be relevant for an installTest if anything20:53:51
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanYes.. inheriting the kernel from the host is not quite right https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/lib/make-disk-image.nix#L1321:11:43
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanhttps://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/hw/core/loader.c#L92421:18:14
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanAnything other than a gzipped kernel is not supported in QEMU 21:18:31
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanFFFFFFFFFFFFFF21:18:34
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanAlthough it does highlight that disko shouldn't be using the target kernel, just to make the disk image for the target21:19:38
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanIt was me who implemented that though, so I should feel bad21:44:38
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanhttps://github.com/nix-community/disko/pull/46721:44:53
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanThe solution is uefi, but is there a use case for not using UEFI?22:05:38
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanI can make the PR, but wondering if I should make it boolean22:06:10

@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanincreasing memory to 16384 fixed it09:40:09

09:40:12
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanAnd then I see this for the first time, which is good. It warns me that my FS hasn't got the right type09:40:38
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughanbut this part of the build never arrives unless I increase the memory size09:40:51
@matthewcroughan:defenestrate.itmatthewcroughan though the "Cannot allocate memory" errors come from cp.. actually. 09:41:18
