 thecowboyai | anyone using zfs around that can chat? I have a working nixos-flashstor configuration...
It installs NixOS, ZFS, and MinIO on an Asus Flashstor 12.
I need some help figuring out how to launch the ZFS config at boot instead of build... as in launching it in systemd.
I have the rest of this working, but am trying to setup several example configuration for the 12 drives in ZFS.
with nixos-flashstor:
You edit a domain name and IP address...
Build to usb
boot Flashstor on USB
you have a running system. | 17:16:23 |

 hexa | can disko reformat nvmes with the proper blocksize? 512/4k? | 13:07:04 |

| hexa | a disk may have two supported modes | 13:07:38 |
| hexa | and to switch to 4k blocks one would need to execute
nvme format /dev/nvme0n1 -l 1

| hexa | so manual for now, got it | 13:11:40 |
 lassulus | ah, never heard about that | 13:21:44 |
| hexa | it's called nvme low level formatting apparently | 14:06:40 |

 phaer | Disko evaluation seems to be broken on darwin. :/ Ran into this while testing my workshops example on darwin, but seems easy to reproduce. Just run nix flake check on darwin on diskos master (nix 2.18 and 2.23 both seem to show the same symptoms

 Anna Aurora | I am generating NixOS images with disko and then flashing them onto a USB flash drive. When trying to boot from if though, it can't find the device specified via /dev/disk/by-partlabel by disko. When booted into my regular NixOS install the disks exist though under /dev/disk/by-partlabel if the USB flash drive is plugged in. | 15:46:16 |
| Anna Aurora | the nixos-anywhere vm test works however | 16:03:47 |

| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | ok so I just deployed to a system that was setup with disko.
flake based config, the module is enabled.
disko config has changed, namely zfs datasets were added.
nothing happened. no new datasets were created.
is that by design? | 12:24:14 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | what I had hoped to get out of disko was mostly declaratively defined zfs datasets, that I can just create by adding them to my config, but it seems I was wrong and that isn't a thing. | 12:28:13 |
