@bandithedoge:matrix.orgbandithedogeyeah, i gave up and ended up mounting with disko first and then just running nixos-install14:26:55
@cezz:lomnik.netmprasilYeah the live CD space is quite limited as it's all in memory. --no-deps helps somewhat. 14:27:36
@cezz:lomnik.netmprasil ❓️ What is the purpose of the if statement here or here? 14:28:53
@cezz:lomnik.netmprasil It seems to be some effort to not overwrite pre-existing partition. 14:29:15
@cezz:lomnik.netmprasil But I found it to be quite a footgun. For example it's pretty common that EFI partition is 1GB (or 500M) an due to that if statemen disko silenty didn't format my EFI partition because previously there was also EFI partition with same size. (so when disko recreated GPT, EFI "adopted" contents of previous vfat there) 14:31:45
@cezz:lomnik.netmprasil disko does prompt whether it should destroy data on the disk and --mode destroy,format,mount is also pretty explicit about what the user expects/wants. So this effort to preserve data feels quite a bit surprising. 14:33:38
