 eyJhb | Yeah, seems to work now. Thanks for solving me being stupid lassulus ! | 11:37:32 |
| eyJhb | Also, I had to reread the nodeps a couple of times, my mind couldn't understand what NODE ps was, and why node was relevant. | 11:38:12 |
 lassulus | :D maybe I should have written NoDeps | 11:40:21 |
| eyJhb | We got to it in the end :p Thank you for the quick response :D Now I can continue | 11:42:33 |

 matthewcroughan | Disko can't make something with an arbitrary sector start or gpt table length can it? | 21:48:22 |
| matthewcroughan | Is it possible with the gpt type to dd a nix store path to a partition? | 22:06:21 |
| matthewcroughan | I guess that'd be done in the postCreate hook, but it's quite an unsafe thing to do | 22:13:05 |
| matthewcroughan | not clear how to access the disko vars or what ones to access to get the absolute path to the partition in question, by nix evaluation | 22:13:25 |

| matthewcroughan | Here's what I'm talking about, and the best I could come up with | 14:23:32 |
| matthewcroughan | devices = {
disk = {
disk1 = rec {
type = "disk";
device = "/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic-_SD_MMC_20120501030900000-0:0";
postCreateHook = ''
lsblk
cat ${uboot}/bl2.bin > /dev/disk/by-partlabel/disk-disk1-bl2
cat ${uboot}/fip.bin > /dev/disk/by-partlabel/disk-disk1-fip
sgdisk -A 1:set:2 ${device}
'';
content = {
type = "gpt";
partitions = {
bl2 = {
start = "34";
end = "8191";
priority = 1;
type = "8300";
};
fip = {
start = "8192";
end = "12287";
priority = 2;
type = "8300";
};
| 14:23:35 |
| matthewcroughan | * ...
disko.devices = {
disk = {
disk1 = rec {
type = "disk";
device = "/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Generic-_SD_MMC_20120501030900000-0:0";

| matthewcroughan | notice how I've just guessed the by-partlabel paths and it's not happening by nix evaluation, and how I've had to use a recursive set to get the device path | 14:24:24 |
