hmmm samueldr just rebooted it I think
02:39
<
samueldr >
ekleog: can confirm you're right
02:39
<
samueldr >
[20:52:56] <samueldr> uh oh!
02:39
<
samueldr >
[20:53:00] <samueldr> overlay 63G 63G 12K 100% /nix/store
02:39
<
samueldr >
(in #nixos-aarch64)
02:40
<
ekleog >
oh, one more chan to stalk :D
02:40
<
ekleog >
so I guess you garbage-collected or similar?
02:41
<
samueldr >
it's a tmpfs overlay thingy
02:41
<
samueldr >
(the right technical terms, I know)
02:41
<
ekleog >
oh yeah 63G is quite little
02:41
<
samueldr >
GC'd through rebooting
02:41
<
samueldr >
it's half the ram!
02:41
<
ekleog >
… wait, the whole store is on tmpfs? o.O
02:41
<
ekleog >
wow, that's a big machine
02:41
<
gchristensen >
maybe we should have it create a temporary fs on disk
02:41
<
samueldr >
I think it's just a 1U
02:42
<
gchristensen >
smaller than that, its like 1/3 of 1u or something
02:42
<
samueldr >
gchristensen: I was thinking it earlier, though it would add time at boot to mkfs.ext4
02:42
<
ekleog >
1/3 of 1u and “just” 128G ram… everything good :D
02:44
<
gchristensen >
we use approx. 10kb of the system's 480gb ssd
02:45
<
samueldr >
(though I think the other aarch64 servers are smaller)

gchristensen: or alternatively continue using tmpfs, but use the disk for swap and make the tmpfs bigger
12:24
<
gchristensen >
haha
12:24
<
sphalerite >
gchristensen: that way we don't have to worry about reformatting the partition on boot
12:24
<
sphalerite >
not a joke :p
12:25
<
gchristensen >
it is really smart :')
12:25
<
gchristensen >
I wonder how that would perform
12:25
<
sphalerite >
I suspect better than a real fs because it doesn't need to do all the syncing stuff
12:32
<
sphalerite >
just discussed it with fpletz and he's not convinced that it would be better, but also not sure. Probably best to try both :p
12:33
<
gchristensen >
yeah I'm not either
