Yes, it's a fantastic idea that, like too many others, has a working
implementation bitrotting in a PR.
But I have an idea to end this ;-). Coming soon :-D.

Layus,
That does sound fantastic! Do you think that PR has a reasonable
chance of landing in the near future?

Hi,
system.copySystemConfiguration is far from perfect. As soon as you
modularize your config, you will miss all the other files.
If you want a correct system.copySystemConfiguration, you really
need https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/709
<https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/709>.
It allows you to snapshot all the sources of a nix derivation, not
just one file.
I tested it back then, and it worked pretty well.

No I don't have `system.copySystemConfiguration=true` set :-(
Luckily I documented my recent efforts in some gists.
I managed to install NixOS on ZFS here:
https://gist.github.com/awesomefireduck/c763e168a62a0ef559a1fb9473261459
<https://gist.github.com/awesomefireduck/c763e168a62a0ef559a1fb9473261459>
And my (yet untested) attempt at PCI passthrough here:
https://gist.github.com/awesomefireduck/1be07805081a4d7a51c527e452b87b26
<https://gist.github.com/awesomefireduck/1be07805081a4d7a51c527e452b87b26>
There is still some missing, but nothing I can't handle, I guess.
This is a great time to enable my ZFS snapshots... :-/
Does anyone know why `system.copySystemConfiguration` is set to
false by default? It seems like it would be better to default
this to true, right?
Or at least have this listed in the generated config?
(`nixos-generate-config`)
Anyway, I'll be okay, thanks folks!!
Sincerely,
Vince
