This reverts commit 683100666d.
Seems somebody (systemd? the kernel?) gets confused at power
events and remounts the filesystem containing /nix/store as
read-only.
Running it from systemd rather than cron has several advantages:
systemd ensures that only one instance runs at a time; the GC can be
manually started/stopped; and logging goes to the journal.
We still need cron to start the service at the right time, but
hopefully soon we can get rid of cron entirely (once systemd supports
starting a unit at a specific time).
So instead of:
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig =
''
StartLimitInterval=10
CPUShare=500
'';
you can say:
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig.StartLimitInterval = 10;
boot.systemd.services."foo".serviceConfig.CPUShare = 500;
This way all unit options are available and users can set/override
options in configuration.nix.
were obtained from the NixOS channel. "nixos-install" copies this
to the installed system as well.
* In the installation CD, set GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE to a low value for
the benefit of memory-constrained environments.

modprobe.
* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

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).

pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

There is really no reason to have a configuration file outside of /etc,
and it's consistent with what the Fedora/Debian packages for Nix use.

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.
