 Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I will try that | 12:11:47 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | it checks successfully at least 🤔 | 12:14:29 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I'll try to skip the partition table thing both on the mirrored boot and on my striped swap, hope that'll just work | 12:15:01 |
 lassulus | did you check the boot-raid1 example? | 12:15:09 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | oh, I didn't! | 12:15:51 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | the examples are a bit hard to navigate, haha | 12:15:56 |
| lassulus | well so many different ways to do it | 12:16:04 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | but I actually guessed right it seems 😌 | 12:16:52 |
| lassulus | there was also some problem with mirrored EFI with systemd-boot. But I don't exactly remember what the problem was | 12:17:08 |
| lassulus | maybe installing it, because the partition is not detected correctly | 12:17:23 |
| lassulus | but it works with grub afair | 12:17:27 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | hmmm, interesting | 12:17:48 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I'll see what happens | 12:17:51 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I would like to use systemd-boot, but it's not a must | 12:18:12 |
| lassulus | maybe it was fixed in the years, or there is a way to ignore the check in the systemd-install command | 12:24:00 |
| lassulus | * maybe it was fixed in the years, or there is a way to ignore the check in the bootctl install command | 12:24:35 |
| lassulus | but as disko doesn't run bootctl it's not configurable in it for now | 12:24:53 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | nope, I definitely hit that | 12:25:01 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | well I'm running nixos-install | 12:25:25 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | as in, as opposed to disko-install | 12:25:52 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | File system "/dev/md127" is not located on a partitioned block device.

| 12:26:15 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | hmmm, well, the good thing is | 12:26:42 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | that I can probably just umount that, disable the raid temporarily, and just mount the underlying partition | 12:27:15 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | cause my secret is that I don't actually have a second disk yet 😬 | 12:27:40 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I'm setting this up in anticipation of getting a second disk sometime soon lol | 12:28:00 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I'll just hope that this also won't cause trouble when I deploy updates | 12:28:37 |
| lassulus | you could check this:
If $SYSTEMD_RELAX_ESP_CHECKS=1 is set the validation checks for
the ESP are relaxed, and the path specified with --esp-path= may
refer to any kind of file system on any kind of partition.
Similarly, $SYSTEMD_RELAX_XBOOTLDR_CHECKS=1 turns off some
validation checks for the Extended Boot Loader partition.
| 12:29:07 |
| lassulus | not sure they apply here, seems like the wrong way around | 12:29:37 |
| lassulus | but it should work I think | 12:30:12 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | hmmm yeah | 12:37:05 |
