if ! blkid "${config.device}" >&2; then
  sgdisk --clear "${config.device}"
fi

I can't tell if I found a bug or if I'm just not understanding this; blkid exits with code 2 when run on a blank (all 00) block device, in which case it... clears the gpt label? that isn't there?

Okay, right now I’ve gotten it to error on the build with:
"Unable to read fragment cache entry"
"Unable to read page"
"unknown filesystem type 'btrfs'"

Hey folks, quick question: I'm trying to setup a bind mount that points to a file system part of a disk managed by disko. I am unable to build the disk image because the order of operation is wrong:

1. disks and filesystems created
2. (a file-system irrelevant to this issue is mounted)
3. bind mount tried, but source fs not mounted
4. (I assume here it would mount the source fs)

Is there anything I can do to influence the order? I tried messing around with _meta.deviceDependencies but without much success.

the mount order is currently:

• root
• /nix (bind)
• /system/nix

I guess a possible work-around would be to call system anything that is lexicographically before nix?

My assumption was correct: the issue starts here: https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/17d08c65c241b1d65b3ddf79e3fac1ddc870b0f6/lib/default.nix#L970

Basically I have root (tmpfs), a writable partition at /system, and a bind mount /nix -> /system/nix.
