Udon

Overview

My daily NixOS driver, for work and play. Dual-boots with Windows (used solely for gaming, when Proton isn’t enough).

Filesystems

/dev/nvme0n1: Samsung EVO+ 500gb (nixos, /home)

parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mklabel gpt
parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mkpart ESP fat32 1MiB 512MiB
parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mkpart primary 512MiB 200GiB
parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- mkpart primary 200GiB 100%
parted /dev/nvme0n1 -- set 1 boot on
mkfs.fat -F32 -n BOOT /dev/nvme0n1p1
mkfs.ext4 -L nixos /dev/nvme0n1p2
mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/nvme0n1p3

/dev/nvme1n1: SN850X NVMe 1TB (windows, games)

This is set up on the Windows side, as is my dedicated Windows + game library drive. On the Linux side I only need a label to consistently refer to it by:

ntfslabel /dev/nvme1n1p2 windows

/dev/sda: WD6400AAKS 640gb (extra storage and VMs)

parted /dev/sda -- mklabel gpt
parted /dev/sda -- mkpart primary 0% 100%
mkfs.ext4 -L data /dev/sda1

/dev/sdb: ST1000DM010 1TB (for streaming/recording footage)

This is set up on the Windows side, as dedicated hot-storage for game and screen recordings on either Windows (with ShadowPlay) or Linux (with OBS studio). No setup needed on Linux, except for a label to consistently refer to it by:

$ ntfslabel /dev/sdb video

Mount filesystems

The final step in the install process, before running $DOTFILES_HOME/bin/hey install:

mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt

mkdir -p /mnt/{home,boot}
mount /dev/disk/by-label/boot /mnt/boot
mount /dev/disk/by-label/home /mnt/home

mkdir -p /mnt/media/{windows,video}
mount /dev/disk/by-label/windows /mnt/media/windows
mount /dev/disk/by-label/video /mnt/media/video
