 waltmck | the output for sgdisk --zap-all /dev/md/raid1 was

| waltmck | great that fixed everything | 11:46:36 |
 lillecarl | lassulus: Out of curiosity, would changing the size of partitions resolve this? Since /dev/md/raid1 header would be at a different location.... right? | 12:37:49 |
 lassulus | not sure, probably | 12:38:46 |

| 🎈 Always | hello to all fellow disko dancers/lovers
the drive is encrypted, and every time i boot it waits for this swap, but it's not there
content = {
type = "btrfs";
extraArgs = ["-f"];
subvolumes = {
"/@SWAP" = {
mountpoint = "/.swapvol";
swap.swapfile.size = "(people will start asking why so much swap)G";
};
};
};
| 14:58:37 |
| lassulus | maybe you want to set swap.swapfile.path instead of mountpoint? | 15:14:36 |
| lassulus | but there is also a default value for that | 15:17:06 |
| lassulus | so maybe you don't need mountpoint? | 15:17:12 |

maybe you want to set swap.swapfile.path instead of mountpoint? this is the easy way of doing this :D | 15:18:37 |
| 🎈 Always | In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
so maybe you don't need mountpoint? btrfs subvolume swap has its pros, also it just looks nice | 15:19:05 |
| lassulus | hmm, ok, reading the code again, it should also work with a mountpoint set | 15:20:24 |
| 🎈 Always | doing btrfs swapfile outside of a separate volume is probably a bad idea (has something to do with compression i think) | 15:20:26 |
| 🎈 Always | In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
hmm, ok, reading the code again, it should also work with a mountpoint set i think i took this code from the main repo :D | 15:20:55 |
| 🎈 Always | i mean, except the subvolume naming | 15:21:12 |
| lassulus | whats the error you see on boot? | 15:24:17 |
| 🎈 Always | In reply to @lassulus:lassul.us
whats the error you see on boot? timeout waiting for the device which somewhere shows as this swap swap | 15:25:34 |

 Vilsol | What is the intended way of using disko when doing a clean install with an existing config? Or do I need to do a non-graphical (manual) install? | 10:12:25 |

What is the intended way of using disko when doing a clean install with an existing config? Or do I need to do a non-graphical (manual) install? Get your hardware configuration, and delete the fileSystems options. Import your disko configuration in your configuration.nix, and use disko-install to format and install the system. | 11:45:09 |
| netpleb | if I want disko to make a partition but not cause the partition to be formatted or mounted, how do I do that? | 16:33:19 |

if I want disko to make a partition but not cause the partition to be formatted or mounted, how do I do that? Ammm, I saw this message and came to find out, like, what do you mean by "make"?? | 16:34:13 |
| netpleb | In reply to @wieldable9080:matrix.im
Ammm, I saw this message and came to find out, like, what do you mean by "make"?? I have a disk-config.nix that does my partitioning for whenever provision a new instance of this type of machine (so I am just using nixos-anywhere ...). Can I just leave out the mountPoint and mountOptions in that disk-config? | 16:38:09 |
