I tried to use /var/log on a separate disk. After first deployment of VBox (via NixOps) /var/log is mounted, but empty:
$ ls -lh /var/log/ total 16K drwx------ 2 root root 16K Dec 17 00:28 lost+found $ sudo journalctl No journal files were found. It seems that this stuff is executed before mount: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/538958bf17b7493e38ccc07d3405f979fd40e4b8 Then I deployed again (with out changes actually, just activation), and /var/log/journal was create, but only readable by root: $ ls -lh /var/log/journal/ -d drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K Dec 17 00:34 /var/log/journal It sounds like activation script is not the best place for making /var/log/journal _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
