It should be possible just by setting some environment variables. I've
never done it, but there are $NIX_STORE_DIR, $NIX_STATE_DIR, etc. See
the end of "man

by default, yes.
I do not yet have much experience with Nix, and I don't know if it's a good
idea, but it is possible to symlink files. (I'm pretty sure that it isn't
a good idea to do this in normal cases, but
My understanding is that whenever a file is needed it is copied in the
store. All these files are needed, at some point. The size likely wouldn't
be an issue if Nix could build and garbage-collect at the same time as the

Hi,
I would like to use Nix for a certain data analysis where I will have
several thousand files which are all together about two TB in size. At the
moment NixOS is installed on a SSD which is a quarter that size. Would it
be possible to install a second store elsewhere, in this case on a slower
