This option, if set to true, enables fallbacking to an interactive
passphrase prompt when the specified keyFile is not found.
The default is false, which is compatible with previous behavior and
doesn't prevent unattended boot.
Regression introduced by 801c920e95.
Since then, the btrfsSimple subtest of the installer VM test fails with:
Btrfs did not return a path for the subvolume at /
The reason for this is that the output for "btrfs subvol show" has
changed between version 4.8.2 and 4.13.1.
For example the output of "btrfs subvol show /" in version 4.8.2 was:
/ is toplevel subvolume
In version 4.13.1, the output now is the following and thus the regular
expressions used in nixos-generate-config.pl and install-grub.pl now
match (which results in the error mentioned above):
/
Name: <FS_TREE>
UUID: -
Parent UUID: -
Received UUID: -
Creation time: -
Subvolume ID: 5
Generation: 287270
Gen at creation: 0
Parent ID: 0
Top level ID: 0
Flags: -
Snapshot(s):
In order to fix this I've changed nixos-generate-config.pl and
install-grub.pl, because both use "btrfs subvol show" in a similar vein,
so the regex for parsing the output now doesn't match anymore whenever
the volume path is "/", which should result in the same behaviour as we
had with btrfs-progs version 4.8.2.
Tested against the btrfsSimple, btrfsSubvols and btrfsSubvolDefault
subtests of the installer VM test and they all succeed now.

the systemd.unit(5) discussion of wantedBy and requiredBy is in the

users want, and not to be confused with enabled.
Boot fails when a keyfile is configured for all encrypted filesystems
and no other luks devices are configured. This is because luks support is only
enabled in the initrd, when boot.initrd.luks.devices has entries. When a
fileystem has a keyfile configured though, it is setup by a custom
command, not by boot.initrd.luks.
This commit adds an internal config flag to enable luks support in the
initrd file, even if there are no luks devices configured.
Grub configs include the NixOS version and date they were built, now
systemd can have fun too:

Or else `services.udev.packages = [ bcache-tools ]` cannot be used.
To not break bcache in the initrd I'm modifying this in stage-1.nix:
- --replace /bin/sh ${extraUtils}/bin/sh
+ --replace ${bash}/bin/sh ${extraUtils}/bin/sh
Reasoning behind that change:
* If not modifying the /bin/sh pattern in any way, it will also match
${bash}/bin/sh, creating a broken path like
/nix/store/HASH-bash/nix/store/HASH-bash/bin/sh in the udev rule file.
* The addition of /bin/sh was done in 775f381a9e
("stage-1: add bcache support"). It seems somewhat plausible that
no new users have appeared since then and we can take this opportunity
to back out of this change without much fear of regressions.
If there _are_ regressions, they should be in the form of build time
errors, not runtime (boot), due to how the udev rule output is checked
for invalid path references. So low risk, IMHO.
* An alternative approach could be to copy the /bin/sh substitute rule
over to the non-initrd udev rules implementation in NixOS, but I think
this way is better:
- The rules file comes with a working path out of the box.
- We can use more precise pattern matching when modifying the udev
rules for the initrd.
The default font is unreadably small on some hidpi displays. This

Since fat32 provides little recovery facilities after a crash,
it can leave the system in an unbootable state, when a crash/outage
happens shortly after an update. To decrease the likelihood of this

Someone on IRC wanted to boot Fedora from another disk. While I'm not

This has surfaced since d990aa7163.
The "simpleUefiGummiboot" installer test fails since this commit,
because that commit introduced a small check to verify whether the store
was altered.
While installing NixOS for the first time, the store is usually in
/mnt/nix/store and without the read-only bind mount that's preventing
programs from altering the store.
So after nixos-install is done creating the system closure and setting
it as the active system profile, the bootloader is written from the
closure inside the chroot. The systemd-boot-builder is invoked during
this step, which adds .pyc files for various Python modules of the
Python 3 store path, which in turn invalidates the hash of the Python 3
store path itself.
At the time the system is booted up again, the nix-store is verified and
fails with something like this:
path /nix/store/zvm545rqc4d97caqq9h7344bnd06jhzb-python3-3.5.3 was

It broke creating the manual. I suspect the descriptions are

We've been through this already in 3af715af90.
/cc #24978, @zraexy, @Mic92.
The LUKS header can be on another device (e.g. a USB stick). In my case
it can take up to two seconds until the partition on my USB stick is
available (i.e. the decryption fails without this patch). This will also
remove some redundancy by providing the shell function `wait_target` and
slightly improve the output (one "." per second and a success/failure
indication after 10 seconds instead of always printing "ok").
Restarting them is useless since the filesystem is already
checked. Worse, restarting them causes the filesystem to be unmounted.
Also remove an override for systemd-rkill@.service which no longer
exists.
We only care about /nix/store because its contents might be out of
sync with /nix/var/nix/db. Syncing other filesystems might cause
unnecessary delays or hangs (e.g. I encountered a case where an NFS
mount was taking a very long time to sync).
When dhcpcd instead of networkd is used, the network-online.target behaved
the same as network.target, resulting in broken services that need a working
network connectivity when being started.
This commit makes dhcpcd wait for a lease and makes it wanted by
network-online.target. In turn, network-online.target is now wanted by
multi-user.target, so it will be activated at every boot.
Using toJSON on a string value works because the allowed JSON escape
sequences is almost a subset of the systemd allowed escape sequences.
The only exception is `\/` which JSON allows but systemd doesn't.
Luckily this sequence isn't required and toJSON don't produce it making
the result valid for systemd consumption.
Examples of things that this fixes are environment variables with double
quotes or newlines.
Since systemd version 232 the install subcommand of bootctl opens the
loader.conf with fopen() modes "wxe", where the "e" stands for
exclusive, so the call will fail if the file exists.
For installing the boot loader just once this is fine, but if we're
using NIXOS_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER on a systemd where the bootloader is
already present this will fail.
Exactly this is done within the simpleUefiGummiboot installer test,
where nixos-install is called twice and thus the bootloader is also
installed twice, resulting in an error during the fopen call:
Failed to open loader.conf for writing: File exists
Removing the file prior to calling bootctl should fix this.
I've tested this using the installer.simpleUefiGummiboot test and it now
succeeds.

This leads to the following error when trying to install a new machine
where the machine ID wasn't yet initialized during boot:
Failed to get machine did: No such file or directory
In addition this was also detected by the simpleUefiGummiboot installer
test.
So let's generate a fallback machine ID by using
systemd-machine-id-setup before actually running bootctl.
Tested this by running the installer.simpleUefiGummiboot test, it still
fails but not because of the machine ID.

Since the bonds interface changed to a lot more possible values we create a
mapping of kernel bond attribute names and values to networkd attributes.
Those match for the most part, but have to transformed slightly.
There is also an assert that unknown options won’t slip through silently.
The Raspberry Pi boot loader was deleting all xx-initrd text files
(which simply contain the path to the actual initrd files) just after
having created them. The code was actually trying to delete real,
obsolete initrd files, which are named <hash>-initrd-initrd (after path
cleaning), but the glob was catching the other files as well.
This reverts commit 712e62c260.
This commit broke NixOS containers. Systemd wouldn't detect if a container
started successfully and would kill it again after a grace period.
Additionally this prints mount errors due to already mounted filesystems
at boot.
This code in amazon-image.nix:
if mountFS "$device" "$mp" "" auto; then
if [ -z "$diskForUnionfs" ]; then diskForUnionfs="$mp"; fi
fi
relies on mountFS to return a zero exit status if mounting
succeeds. But the lustrateRoot check in mountFS was causing a non-zero
exit status. As a result /disk0 would be mounted, but not used for
/tmp.

networkd options are always correct or up to date. This option allows to by
pass type checking. It is also easier to write because examples can be just copy
and paste from manpages.
Networkd units can contain secrets. In future also wireguard vpn will be supported by
networkd. To avoid leakage of private keys, those could be then also put outside
of the /nix/store
Having a writeable /etc/systemd/network also allows to quick fix network issues,
when upgrading `nixos-rebuild switch` would require network on its own (due
updates).

- most nixos user only require time synchronisation,
while ntpd implements a battery-included ntp server (1,215 LOCs of C-Code vs 64,302)
- timesyncd support ntp server per interface (if configured through dhcp for instance)
- timesyncd is already included in the systemd package, switching to it would
save a little disk space (1,5M)
Using the --force option on GRUB isn't recommended, but there are very

For some reason, between Linux 4.4.19 and 4.4.20, the atkbd and libps2
kernel modules lost their dependency on i8042 in modules.dep, causing
i8042 not to be included in the initrd. This breaks keyboard in the
initrd, in turn breaking LUKS.
This only happens on the 16.03 branch; on 16.09, it appears i8042 is
pulled into the initrd anyway (through some other dependency,
presumably). But let's include it explicitly.

This makes it easy to specify kernel patches:
boot.kernelPatches = [ pkgs.kernelPatches.ubuntu_fan_4_4 ];
To make the `boot.kernelPatches` option possible, this also makes it
easy to extend and/or modify the kernel packages within a linuxPackages
set. For example:
pkgs.linuxPackages.extend (self: super: {
kernel = super.kernel.override {
kernelPatches = super.kernel.kernelPatches ++ [
pkgs.kernelPatches.ubuntu_fan_4_4
];
};
});

This ensures that most "trivial" derivations used to build NixOS
configurations no longer depend on GCC. For commands that do invoke
gcc, there is runCommandCC.
This is a standard environment that doesn't contain a C/C++
compiler. This is mostly to prevent trivial builders like runCommand
and substituteAll from pulling in gcc for simple configuration changes
on NixOS.
This allows us to define system user targets in addition to the existing
services, timers and sockets.
Furthermore, we add a top-level configuration keyword:

Regression introduced by 79d4636d50.
The mentioned commit moves /run/keys from stage 2 to
boot.specialFileSystems, the latter being remounted during system
activation.
Unfortunately, the specialMount function in the activation script does
this unconditionally and thus will fail if it can't be remounted because
the mount point simply doesn't exist.
We now check the mount point for existance and only remount if it exists
but mkdir + mount it if it doesn't.

When Grub is to be used with UEFI, it is not going to write to any MBR
of any disk. As such, it is safe to use multiple "nodev" device entries
when mirroring the ESP partition to multiple disks.
E.g.:
```
boot.loader.grub = {
enable = true;
version = 2;
zfsSupport = true;
efiSupport = true;
mirroredBoots = [
{ devices = [ "nodev" ]; path = "/boot1"; efiSysMountPoint = "/boot1"; }
{ devices = [ "nodev" ]; path = "/boot2"; efiSysMountPoint = "/boot2"; }
{ devices = [ "nodev" ]; path = "/boot3"; efiSysMountPoint = "/boot3"; }
];
};
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
```

All swap device option sets "have" a label, it's just that sometimes it's
undefined. Because we set a `device` attribute when we have a label anyway it's
ok to just check device prefix.
