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

Sat Jun 18 09:49:07 CEST 2016

Messing with filesystems.* is really dangerous. Once I forgot to assign
label to root partirion and referenced disk by label in configuration.
Nixos-rebuuld switch and goodbye.

Yesterday I forgot to mkfs of a new LV before nixos-rebuild, got
local-fs.target failed and bricked instance. Sadly this time I lost all the
disk data, because rescue system failed somehow.
