## Fix up broken installations with disko-install
```
nix run github:nix-community/disko#disko-install -- --mode mount --flake github:nix-community/infra/initrd-ssh#build02 --disk nvme0n1 /dev/nvme1n1 --disk nvme1n1 /dev/nvme0n1
Disko install allows to update nixos configuration with out re-formatting, if the `--mode` parameter is set to `mount`. This assumes that the file system is still intact. `--disk` may need to be adjusted according to the concrete disko configuration. i.e. disks during installation may have different names than later in the recovery system. Use lsblk or `/dev/disk/by-partlabel` to reason about which disk is which.
```console
$ ls -la /dev/disk/by-partlabel/
