If you do, you are able to use the fileSystems disko creates for your from your disko config. That's about the only difference, disko won't run again or so by including it into your config

I'm trying to use the disko-install command to create a custom bootable USB that has an entire NixOS system (including persistent storage and access to git and neovim, plus a few other goodies).

After running sudo nix run 'github:nix-community/disko/latest#disko-install' -- --flake .#image --disk os /dev/sdc, things seem to get built/copied etc., but it finally halts with this error:

My disko (and NixOS configuration) is pretty simple and the problem occurs even with a minimal configuration (so I don't think it's the issue) but I can share it if required.

Sorry, mini-bump:
