Hi,
I’m using disko to install nix from a 16GB usb drive. The nix live partition is only 7.5GB, so when I run $ sudo nix run 'github:nix-community/disko#disko-install' -- --flake '/tmp/config/etc/nixos#mymachine' --disk main /dev/sda I run out of space. I’ve tried attaching another hard drive and setting TMPDIR=... but the disko command ignores it.
Any help appreciated!
To be fair, I haven’t tried this in a while, but last time I installed from a flash drive I had a similar problem and found this command that seemed to make it work.
mount -o remount,size=8G /run/user/0
Thanks dude. I ended up doing
nix-shell -p disko
sudo disko --mode disko --flake .#name
sudo nixos-install --no-channel-copy --no-root-password --flake .#name
although I forgot to set a password so I think I’ll have to do it again!
