 lassulus | Yes | 16:24:49 |
 matthewcroughan | If you had to compare it in terms of feature parity to disko, what would you say? | 16:25:16 |
| matthewcroughan | does it lack certain things ? | 16:25:24 |
| matthewcroughan | I know for example it might lack the boot flow tests that disko has | 16:25:31 |
| lassulus | No multi device. No lvm. No zfs. No bcachefs | 16:32:12 |
| matthewcroughan | Actually at scale21x someone was showing it to me, and we seemed to get bcachefs working after I forked nixpkgs and changed two lines | 16:32:32 |
| matthewcroughan | are you sure it doesn't work? I was going to try it today to see | 16:32:38 |
| lassulus | well basic bcachefs works. But no advanced features | 16:33:00 |
| lassulus | Mike encryption miltidevice | 16:33:11 |
| lassulus | * Like encryption miltidevice | 16:33:20 |
| matthewcroughan | At the least though, isn't there some json file that repart consumes? | 16:33:31 |
| matthewcroughan | could disko consume that same json file | 16:33:35 |
| matthewcroughan | * could disko consume that same json file? | 16:33:36 |
| lassulus | * Like encryption or multidevice | 16:33:40 |
| lassulus | I think it's unit file Syntax? | 16:34:02 |
| matthewcroughan | hmm.. damn, I thought there was json for some reason | 16:34:52 |
| matthewcroughan | so yes, disko is much more powerful for certain things still | 16:35:32 |
| lassulus | Yes | 16:36:08 |
| lassulus | And always will be. Because you can only do so much in a flat structure | 16:36:35 |
| lassulus | https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/repart.d.html# | 16:36:40 |
| matthewcroughan | The only reason to bother with repart is the improved performance then | 16:37:50 |
| matthewcroughan | I still think it is quite important to be able to build an arm64 via binfmt in an accelerated x86 VM, since otherwise it's not possible to build disk images for other archs | 16:38:33 |
| matthewcroughan | in the case of repart, I am able to build an arm64 device image, since it ends up using binfmt for its operatons, not a whole Arm NixOS VM | 16:39:15 |
| matthewcroughan | and as I mentioned, doing binfmt inside of an accelerated x86 vm, does not have performance consequences, counter intuitively | 16:39:45 |
| matthewcroughan | That is the only thing preventing me from using disko atm, I will eventually figure this out and make a PR | 16:40:11 |
| lassulus | Maybe it's easier to reuse the new disko-install command with an image file outside the nix sandbox | 16:51:02 |

Yeah, it deleted all of my data if there wasn't something correct in the setup. Like no /persist/system or wrong permissions on /persist/home (in second scenario, home manager just failed to start completely). Though it is probably the fault of impermanence.
But for now, it works on my machine™. Feel free to send your final setup, I will happily steal it ;) i got everything working, git repo is not ready yet, and the setup took many manual steps to do | 18:14:11 |
