[Discord] <xmort> > BOOTSIZE ( integer 96 ): set size (in megabytes) for separate /boot filesystem. Used if ROOTFS_TYPE set to non-ext4
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> But the rootfs is ext4
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> I.. guess I could use xfs as the rootfs just to get it to produce a separate /boot partition?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <igorpec> don't know. you will need to experiment / looking into the code
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> adding BOOTFS_TYPE to the board config seems to work. Can I provide my own board config via userpatches?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> It seems like yeah, putting a board in userpatches/config/boards works. Nice!
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <alexl83> I ended up using `BOOTPART_REQUIRED="yes"` in my config files in userpatches, so boot partition gets standard size 256MiB (a bit more space so I cans tore multiple kernels/intirds)
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> Which config files is that? Can you put it in any .config file in `userpatches/config`, such as lib.config?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> sorry lib.config doesn't go in userpatches/config does it. Question about whether putting it in lib.config would work remains tho
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <alexl83> you create you own, `config-XXXX.conf`, you collect there all the build variables you need and you call specif config using `./compile.sh XXXX` eventually adding more vars or overriding already defined ones on command line
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <alexl83> for some examples you can check here https://github.com/alexl83/os I keep my userpatches there
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> do you know if it works in lib.conf as well?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> I have a setup where different configs are handled by swapping out userconfig directories right now
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <alexl83> i might be wrong as I never used lib.conf, but I think lib.conf it's not supported anymore
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> I don't know if that matters or not.. this whole thing is a bit confusing, mkfs.vfat and mkfs.msdos are just symlinks to mkfs.fat
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Werner> Probably because it is sufficient for >95% of cases 🤷♂️
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> I thought the fat vs vfat distinction was the reason why macOS refused to mount the boot partition, but it turns out that's not it, macOS is able to mount it >_>
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Werner> Another case of insufficient documentation I'd say
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> the context is: I'm making an image which acts as an installer, I want you to be able to set some settings in a text file in that installer, so I'm trying to get the installer SD card to present itself as a partition to Windows and macOS
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> I figured using the fat32 /boot partition made sense, but maybe that was too optimistic...
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> I wonder how angry Linux would be at running from a fat32 rootfs
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <Werner> My guess is it runs just fine. Maybe compile fat support directly into the kernel rather than having it as a module.
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> armbian certainly didn't like ROOTFS_TYPE=fat hehe

[Discord] <killerpandabur> For a quick sanity check, is anyone else able to download armbian builds for an orange pi 5? Every download link I try just says the URL does not exist

[Discord] <xmort> I will never understand why atomic mirror syncs aren't a thing yet, is it *that* much more expensive to have at least twice the storage necessary for all the packages?
<DC-IRC>
[Discord] <xmort> I guess I get it for a community driven project like Armbian but Canonical have long outages due to mirror syncs too, I don't get that
