[Nix-dev] sudo nixos-rebuild test failes after new install

Thu Jan 28 11:39:07 CET 2016

Hi Nix-Devs,

it seems that I'm the culprit of this messed up state of the Vultr machines.
I tried adding a swap partition under the fileSystems directive.  After
finding the correct way to define swap devices (I was assuming
fileSystems."swap" would work), the damage was already done and deploying
via NixOps started failing on all 5 servers.

I just finished reinstalling one machine and now everything seems to work
again (on that machine that is, the others are still failing).  I didn't
realize messing with the fileSystems entry is this kind of dangerous ;-)

Kind regards,

Erik
