On x86_64-linux only because bootspec is for NixOS (for the moment?),
and NixOS is really only a Linux concept (for the moment?).
Not on aarch64-linux because it fails for whatever reason 🤷
Stderr does not exist as a systemd option (StandardError would've been
correct), but since "journal" is the default by association this mistake
never had any effect. just remove the key entirely.
To reduce size, stage 1 (the initrd) is populated by copying specific
binaries in, then copying the libraries specifically needed by those
binaries. `patchelf` is then used to make the binaries search in the
directory where these libraries are copied to instead of their original
store paths.
Some filesystems (e.g. ZFS) do not guarantee that copying the same files
in the same order into a given directory will result in `find` returning
them in any particular order (though the order appears consistent so
long as the directory is not modified).
Therefore, when the binaries are scanned for libraries to copy in, they
might be scanned in a different order each time the derivation is built.
If two binaries need two different libraries with the same name, then a
different instance of the library might be copied in first, changing the
derivation contents and breaking reproducibility.
This turns out to be the case with `libudev.so.1` from both `systemd`
(needed by e.g. `mdadm`) and `systemdMinimal` (needed by e.g.
`dmsetup`). This issue is fixed by sorting the list of binaries to be
scanned instead of relying on filesystem order so that the same instance
always gets seen and copied first.
Both before this change (at least on ext4) and after this change
(without any options that affect stage 1), this is the `libudev.so.1`
from `systemdMinimal` by way of `dmsetup`. Whether this is appropriate
and how much the two different systemd configurations and udev libraries
need to be involved is a topic left for future work.
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`.
