 eyJhb | I seem to remember I yanked it from some manual. | 11:35:59 |
| eyJhb | But, that might be me misremembering. | 11:36:08 |
| eyJhb | I've changed it away from nodeps now :) | 11:37:00 |
| 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";
};

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 |
| matthewcroughan | This also won't work in the image builder, it will only work for running the real disko script due to the dependency on the device path which will differ in the VM
