Right, mips and armv5tel nixos default kernels don't have those modules. Those systems would fail to boot on next reboot after rebuild. Annoying. Why not prepare some "boot.btrfs = true;" kind of option, if btrfs is a complicated thing? A builder based on that could even check that the kernel config has BTRFS enabled. :) _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
