00:18 <lopsided98> My ODROID-XU4 with 1G swap doesn't have enough RAM to compile rustc anymore (at least not with 4 cores simultaneously)

00:19 <lopsided98> Its annoying to have to reduce parallelism for all builds just because rustc happens to use an exorbitant amount of memory

03:03 <Jake[m]> [lopsided98](https://matrix.to/#/@freenode_lopsided98:matrix.org): oof that sounds annoying. Sorry if you've already considered this, but have you tried using zramswap to make your ram go farther? I've been able to get compression of a factor of 3, so kind of triples your effective ram.

03:04 <Jake[m]> I should have led with: zramswap is a thing that creates a swap device that is actually just backed by RAM, but that compresses and decompresses data transparently. So as you start using the swap space, you're really just compressing a portion of your RAM.

03:21 <Ke> is this familiar to anyone when booting systemd-boot on aarch64 "FatDiskIo: error Out of Resources"

03:22 <Ke> it works on qemu wit a lot lees resources

03:23 <Ke> I guess there is nothing easy, that I could do

06:26 <aforemny> Hi. I tried to setup a aarch64 build machine on AWS following these instructions: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prototype-aarch64-ami-builder-for-amazon-ec2/2431 Instead of building the base image myself, I have used the latest amazonImage built by Hydra: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/127895845 NixOps is able to provision that machine, but is unable to SSH to it (and thus cannot switch to my

21:58 <betaboon> I'm trying to updat ethe kernel on a raspberrypi4 but the size of the boot-partition is to small, any suggestions how to fix that ?

21:59 <samueldr> not that it will help you, but since we spoke about that a short while ago, betaboon, https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/97883

21:59 <{^_^}> #97883 (by samueldr, 1 week ago, open): Use U-Boot for the Raspberry Pi 4-specific image

21:59 <samueldr> though in your situation you can empty the (IIRC) `old` directory from the boot partition

22:00 <samueldr> though you might need to cull generations beforehand

22:00 <samueldr> as it'll try to fill it will all generations again

22:03 <betaboon> samueldr: sadly this is a fresh image, trying to switch to mainline kernel, not enough space for two kernels on there

22:03 <betaboon> so there is no old generation that could be deleted

22:03 <samueldr> :/

22:03 <betaboon> samueldr: thanks for the headsup regarding uboot

22:04 <samueldr> I haven't tested the status of mainline on the pi4

22:04 <samueldr> though, since it's a fresh image, two solutions

22:04 <samueldr> (1) reflash, before booting move the ext4 partition (as moving is almost free) and resize the /boot partition

22:04 <samueldr> (2) change the configuration for generating sd images in Nixpkgs with a bigger boot partition size

22:05 <samueldr> and (3) try u-boot PR, but YMMV?

22:06 <betaboon> samueldr: just about to do that

22:07 <samueldr> or (4), same as 1, but resize the ext4 partition from the left, which is usually quite slow

22:08 <betaboon> I'm just doing 1 :D

22:08 <samueldr> yeah, I was just describing options as it might help other people in a future where they see this in the logs :)

22:08 <betaboon> sure thing. irc-logs are better than old forum posts xD

22:22 <betaboon> samueldr: can you suggest how to move the partition? aside from using gparted ?

23:42 <samueldr> betaboon: using gparted (sorry)

23:42 <samueldr> mayb parted itself

23:42 <samueldr> maybe*

23:42 <samueldr> basically, you need a tool that knows about filesystems in addition to the partitioning

23:43 <samueldr> and I never had to find any other

23:43 <samueldr> it works
