| GenericNerdyUsername | Is there a way I can run a command before a partition is unmounted on shutdown? | 13:26:04 |
 @adam:robins.wtf | you can maybe use systemd unit ordering to do so | 13:44:19 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | i meant in disko | 13:44:35 |
| GenericNerdyUsername | having a preUnmountHook right next to preMountHook would be a lot cleaner than a new systemd unit | 13:45:22 |
 lassulus | unmounting is currently not managed by disko | 14:14:09 |

| @perchun:matrix.org | hello
I currently have a disk of 2tb with 1.5tb partition for my current OS (fedora) and 500gb of free space. Is it possible to install NixOS via disko only on free space, without touching existing partitions?
I could format the disk by hand, but I have +- complex config, and I am afraid I couldn't reproduce it by hand (at least at first try).
| 20:59:00 |
| lassulus | it should be possible, but that is a very recent feature which I haven | 21:05:30 |
| lassulus | * it should be possible, but that is a very recent feature which I haven't tested deeply yet | 21:05:38 |
| lassulus | you basically need to configure your existing partitons in disko (content can be null for the fedore ones) and then try to run the createScript (not the diskoScript!, as that one will wipe your drives first) | 21:06:47 |
 SigmaSquadron | i’d make a backup or at least clone the disk before trying. | 21:33:45 |

 phaer | We don't support bcachefs native encryption and/or multi-device support yet, correct? | 18:55:17 |
| phaer | Quick code searc suggests as much | 18:55:41 |

(i am currently trying this in vm to be safe; without changes into modules/nixos/disko.nix, it gives the same result) | 19:21:33 |
| @perchun:matrix.org | also, i was confused to see this feature named "format" though you recommend it to not format my disk | 19:22:22 |
| lassulus | ah, yeah,I actually check if there is already a partition table and skip creating any partition if that is the case | 19:41:45 |
| lassulus | I will fix that tomorrow | 19:41:49 |
