 lassulus | you could check this:
If $SYSTEMD_RELAX_ESP_CHECKS=1 is set the validation checks for
the ESP are relaxed, and the path specified with --esp-path= may
refer to any kind of file system on any kind of partition.
Similarly, $SYSTEMD_RELAX_XBOOTLDR_CHECKS=1 turns off some
validation checks for the Extended Boot Loader partition.

| lassulus | not sure they apply here, seems like the wrong way around | 12:29:37 |
| lassulus | but it should work I think | 12:30:12 |
 Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | hmmm yeah | 12:37:05 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I tried just passing that in via --impure and it did the trick | 12:37:14 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | now how/where do I add that to my config 😅 | 12:37:37 |
| lassulus | maybe add a nixos-install wrapper | 12:37:56 |
| lassulus | environment.systemPackages = [
(pkgs.writeScriptBin "nixos-install" ''
export SYSTEMD_RELAX_ESP_CHECKS=1
exec {pkgs.nixos-install}/bin/nixos-install "$@"
'')
]
| 12:39:10 |
| lassulus | or something like that | 12:39:13 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | hmmmm | 12:47:39 |

And yes, sd-boot writes to the ESP if boot counting/boot assessment is enabled.

| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I'd like to turn that off lol | 12:49:48 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I don't see it in the loader.conf options | 12:50:09 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | it sounds like setting that up is a rather involved process fwiw | 12:53:28 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | I'd say I can worry about that once I actually have two disks 😅 | 12:53:44 |
| Sylvie (They/She) 🏳️⚧️ | hmmmm | 12:59:29 |
