 maralorn | lassulus: What made you decide to use partlabels for partition discovery? Isn’t that a bit dangerous because of possible naming collisions? | 07:48:16 |
 lassulus | fs labels are dependant on the filesystem. partition numbering is different for each backend and less flexible when updating the table | 07:49:26 |
| lassulus | but yeah, there is risk of conflicts if you apply the same config to different disks | 07:50:19 |
| lassulus | but with partlabels, the device can also be specified by an environment variable. this was not possible with the old numbering | 07:50:54 |
| maralorn | So, you are saying there is a risk, but there is no better option? | 07:55:09 |
| lassulus | yes :D | 07:57:57 |
| lassulus | maybe we can add the device to the default partlabel | 07:58:26 |
| maralorn | Well, I guess it’s fine to declare this the users responsibility. | 08:17:31 |
| maralorn | Although maybe disko could at least detect if multiple partitions on the same system are named the same. | 08:18:17 |
| maralorn | Of course that doesn’t protect against collissions with random disks on the system which have no mount instructions. | 08:19:00 |
| maralorn | e.g. an old disk with previous system after a migration. | 08:19:24 |
| maralorn | * e.g. an old disk with the previous system after a migration to a new disk. | 08:19:47 |
| maralorn | Hm, that actually doesn’t sound super far-fetched. 😄 | 08:20:09 |

| alina🏳️⚧️🐾 | what does "passing" a module mean in this context? | 13:18:19 |
| alina🏳️⚧️🐾 | * what does "passing" a module mean in this context? isn't a module available globally anyway once imported? | 13:18:37 |
| lassulus | a better documentation would have indeed been better for that option. but it's kernel modules which are available for the vm builder. so one can add bcachefs or zfs there or something like that | 13:21:30 |
 hexa | or an example 😛 | 13:22:13 |
| lassulus | I blame matthewcroughan :P | 13:23:20 |
 matthewcroughan | kernel modules | 13:23:37 |
| matthewcroughan | oops | 13:23:37 |
| matthewcroughan | such as "bcachefs" | 13:23:50 |
| lassulus | I will make a PR :D | 13:24:03 |
