So you could use it, but it's not yet ready for being part of the

Here is the repository: https://github.com/aszlig/nixpart
And it is in nixpkgs as well.
Thank you very much. I have had a play, and it looks very helpful.
There is one small

Well, it works already but still uses Redhat/Fedoras Kickstart syntax

Hi Tim,
Generally, in NixOS we achieve effects outside of the store in a
two-phase process: We have derivations to create data (config files,
systemd units, shell scripts, etc.) in the store that represent the end
state we want (including a master activation script that joins all the
rest

How to script partitionsing can be looked up in the test cases in nixos.

I would like to be able to boot from nixos installation media, then do
automated partitioning, LVM setup and filesystem creation, then let nixops do
the rest. What is the best way to automate partitioning, LVM setup and
filesystem creation ? I wrote a shell script to do this (just for one disk, so
On further reflection, I think I see how it almost might work using
derivations. Assume it is possible to have a derivation that is only
considered to be built (hand-waving part here ...) if the required filesystem

Well - the nixos isos ship with nixos-install.
It should be easy to add a script which runs automatically on startup
(creating llvm devices and so on)
and runs the script afterwards.
