in its default aarch64 configuration, nixos will mount the partition labled "NIXOS" iirc, so you could always `dd` the image, rename its internal partition to whatever copy it to the drive OR "move" it to the drive.

<gchristensen>
oops
<samueldr>
nothing forces the boot partition to be on the same media than the root
<samueldr>
and since the kernel is started and in control, it should be able to mount the usb drive, even if neither the board's intial bootloader nor u-boot can
<tathougies>
nice
<tathougies>
great… this should work great then
<samueldr>
I would recommend you NOT have the boot partition on both the SD card and the drive, it makes it harder at a glance to understand which one (if both are labeled the same) is mounted
<samueldr>
(sams for the root partition)
<samueldr>

I wish I had my own big aarch64 box :(
<sphalerite>
gchristensen: :D what do you want it for?
<gchristensen>
building the packet.net disk images
<gchristensen>
in a pinch I can use the ones behind Hydra but I don't like to have creds for that box "around"
<sphalerite>
aaah yeah fair
<gchristensen>
an obvious question is why don't they give me another for this? they're out :P
<sphalerite>
at least it's a good reason :p
<gchristensen>
yeah
<gchristensen>
I want to hook this up to some CI automation, too, which is a line I'm not willing to cross with the hydra machine
<sphalerite>
and you can't build the packet images in hydra? :D
<gchristensen>
it would add tons of data to the binary cache for no reason :(
<gchristensen>
they're going to start renting GPU boxes for $0.00/hr
<gchristensen>
(ie: spot market only, name your price)
<sphalerite>
sounds like a good way to maximise utilisation?
<gchristensen>
maybe so
<gchristensen>
seems a bit weird, most model training I've done (which is not standard I guess) took days-to-weeks to train and a spot market would be the exact opposite of what I'd want, b/c a shutdown would ruin it all
