I set it as default because users can benefit of this without having to prepare
their nixos first, and I don't think it will break any nixos for the initrd
size increase.
It can be disabled with 'boot.initrd.withExtraTools = false'.

reiserfs now have separate modules that are conditional on
boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems.
By default, these include the filesystems specified in the fsType
attribute in fileSystems. Ext2/3/4 support is currently
unconditional.
Also unbreak the installer test (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2272302).

popt-0.16 and cryptsetup-1.4.1 both generated pkgconfig (in contrast
to older versions). The pkgconfig files (popt.pc and cryptsetup.pc)
contain references into the store that are not removed by patchelf and
stage-1 fails with errors like: "output is not allowed to refer to
path `/nix/store/qccjhn063cfv171rcaxvxh0yk96zf7l2-cryptsetup-1.4.1'".
Now, only the cryptsetup binaries and its dependencies are copied,
determined by ldd. In addition the cryptsetup binary and lvm are
tested after patchelf has adjusted the library paths.
Thanks to Peter Simons and Eelco Dolstra for giving the rights hints.

After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

then every unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) system call causes a new entry to be
created in /dev/cgroup/<pid>, which is not removed automatically.
This can cause subsequent calls to unshare() to fail if the PID has
wrapped around. Worse, a large number of entries in /dev/cgroup
causes a very substantial system slowdown: doing 10,000
fork()/unshare(CLONE_NEWNS)/exit() calls took 21s without the "ns"
subsystem, but 2m43s with it, and the system slows down permanently
until the entries in /dev/cgroup are removed (going to a load of > 6
on my laptop).
This is particularly important for Nix because its chroot feature
uses unshare(CLONE_NEWNS). (http://yellowgrass.org/issue/Nix/219)

problem is that configuration values below a mkIf are evaluated
strictly even if the condition is false. Thus "${luksRoot}" causes
an evaluation error. As a workaround, use the empty string instead
of `null' as the default value. However, we should really fix the
laziness of mkIf. It's likely that NixOS evaluation would be much
faster if it didn't have to evaluate disabled configuration values.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain

we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
(because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
requires "root (hd0)". For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
generated without installing GRUB. For the second, add an option
boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

As a result, `cdrom_id' doesn't print
ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA, which in turn prevents the

corresponding udev rules for now. This was the behaviour in udev <=

(i.e. whether portmap and statd are still running).
