| unspeaker | hey people 👋
i came here from this guide https://edouard.paris/notes/install-nixos-on-an-ovh-vps-with-nixos-anywhere/ to ask for help with figuring out the appropriate disko config for my use case...
but (after making some tweaks to the config based https://github.com/nix-community/disko/blob/master/example/boot-raid1.nix and the output of lsblk/fdisk/parted) ... it all worked perfectly the first time! 🚀
so all that's left is to express my sincerest gratitude for this fantastic tool! 🙏

 nicoty | Hey pal. I've been tinkering around with your multi-disk branch for a bit and I thought I'd let you know that I opened this PR which builds on and integrates your commits. The automated tests seem to pass okay, though I haven't tested it on real hardware.
I plan to add the encryption support at some point soon as well.

| Derpy (they/any) | I want to reinstall my nixos
Is it possible yo mount the old partitions
Wipe nix
And then install
? | 10:36:31 |
 robsliwi | What is the thing you want to achieve? Each generation (the thing that nixos-rebuild does) is a "reinstall". | 11:06:49 |

What is the thing you want to achieve? Each generation (the thing that nixos-rebuild does) is a "reinstall". It seems like I screwed my nix store | 11:24:21 |
| robsliwi | You could try to fix it with nix store repair or show some errors to guide you in some direction. | 11:28:27 |

You could try to fix it with nix store repair or show some errors to guide you in some direction. No error, seems like kernel panics, can't boot any working configuration, and even the working ones were not always working
I should actually investigate more into this, but it seemed easier for me to just reinstall | 12:15:32 |

 palo | I created a zraid2 setup on top of luks a while ago (with this disko config : https://git.ingolf-wagner.de/palo/nixos-config/src/branch/main/machines/chungus/hardware-configuration/disko-config.nix) now one of my disks broke down, and I just plugged a new disk in the computer.
Is there an easy way to format them the same way I defined in that disko-config.nix ? I mean I have to define the new disk in there anyway, but is there an easy command to only format this device and all? | 20:24:19 |

I'm asking because I think disko does a lot of stuff like labeling and proper flagging and such. | 20:24:58 |
| palo | Hmm according to documentation, and from what I see in the script, disko --dry-run -m format ... it will only format drives which don't have the proper label set | 20:48:13 |

| palo | I just rand --dry-run -m format, than copied and edited the file to just run the part of the new drive. | 21:04:56 |

 lassulus | I also added some safeguard into the format scripts, that it shouldn't run on already formatted drives | 22:10:54 |
