Both building and booting a directory image is much faster than building or booting a disk image so let's default to a directory image. In CI, we stick to a disk image to make sure that keeps working as well. The only extra dependency this introduces is virtiofsd which is packaged in all distributions except Debian stable. For users hacking on systemd on Debian stable, a disk image can be built by writing the following to mkosi.local.conf: ``` [Output] Format=disk ```
