a zfs fileSystems entry with an absolute (e.g. device) path rather than
a zfs dataser is parsed as an empty pool name, causing a doomed-to-fail
import job to be created as a boot dependency. Catch this as an assertion
Currently systemd-ask-passwd times out after 1m30s. After 3 tries this
causees systemd to enter the emergency shell and basically lead to an
unbootable system requiring a reboot to be able to try to unlock again.
Also if a pool is imported but not unlocked, the unlock step will no
longer be skipped.
Enable using an erofs filesystem as one of the filesystems needed to
boot the system. This is useful for example in image based deployments
where the Nix store is mounted read only.
[erofs](https://docs.kernel.org/filesystems/erofs.html) offers multiple
benefits over older filesystems like squashfs. Skip fsck.erofs because
it is still experimental.
According to a ZFS issue about hibernation causing data corruption:
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/12842
The way this happens is if the system force imports a pool that was
suspended during hibernation. I've had this happen twice on NixOS and
I'd like to avoid having this happen again, to me or others.
To do this I've added an assertion that makes sure you can't have
`forceImportRoot` or `forceImportAll` enabled with `allowHibernation`.

conversions were done using https://github.com/pennae/nix-doc-munge
using (probably) rev f34e145 running
nix-doc-munge nixos/**/*.nix
nix-doc-munge --import nixos/**/*.nix
the tool ensures that only changes that could affect the generated
manual *but don't* are committed, other changes require manual review
and are discarded.
...if cfgExpandOnBoot == "all", otherwise it fails during runtime:
```
Aug 06 19:38:05 nixos zpool-expand-pools-start[981]: /nix/store/ka3vivdray82mi9dql12yf258gkw643l-unit-script-zpool-expand-pools-start/bin/zpool-expand-pools-start: line 3: zpool: command not found
```
now nix-doc-munge will not introduce whitespace changes when it replaces
manpage references with the MD equivalent.
no change to the manpage, changes to the HTML manual are whitespace only.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
Tell zpool-list(8) to format output rather than modifying it afterwards.
Furthermore, pool names may contain spaces and would thus break due to
awk(1)'s word splitting.
Although unlikely, ZFS happily accepts names like 'zroot/foo -r'.
Escape names and separate command line options from arguments to avoid
any kind of misinterpretation.
This includes disabling some features in the initrd by default, this is
only done when the new initrd is used. Namely, ext and bcache are
disabled by default. bcache gets an own enable option while ext is
detected like any other filesystem.
some options have default that are best described in prose, such as
defaults that depend on the system stateVersion, defaults that are
derivations specific to the surrounding context, or those where the
expression is much longer and harder to understand than a simple text
snippet.
The parentheses prevent the `continue` line from working by running the
enclosed in a subshell -- I noticed that ZFS would start asking me for
my password to encrypted child datasets, even though they were not
specified in `requestEncryptionCredentials`. The following logs would
also be present in the import unit's journal:
