Re: [Nix-dev] nixops virtualbox disk size
There is also virtualization.diskSize. Hmm, sorry for misinformation. Although the name sounds quite universal, it is used only with qemu. It certainly works when writing tests that run in qemu VM. virtualisation.memorySize is used even in virtualbox tests but no diskSize. Virtualbox seems to require virtualbox.baseImageSize so it is a shame that it is not unified. I would recommend to git clone nixpkgs repository and grep through and read a bit of nix package files to get the idea, how things are configured. ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
Re: [Nix-dev] nixops virtualbox disk size
I don't use nixops but after looking in the repo i found this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/blob/master/nix/virtualbox.nix#L42
So it should be: virtualbox.disks.mydisk = { port=1; size=123123123; };
Hope this works.

Re: [Nix-dev] nixops virtualbox disk size
You are going to have to build a custom image I think, maybe you can use
the prebuilt, and resize it, look futher down the page here
https://github.com/NixOS/nixops/blob/master/nix/virtualbox.nix#L132 . It
looks like the main disk have to be on port 0. So if you would have
virtualbox.disks.disk1 = { port=0;
baseImage=${pkgs.richards-image}/image-name.vdi;
};
If you build a custom image, I think the command is something along:
nix-build ~/nixpkgs-repo/nixos/release.nix -A
config.system.build.virtualBoxImage -I nixos-config=path-to-nixos-config
But the best is maybe to create a declaration for this, then you can look
more into nixos/release.nix and modules ... virtualbox.nix.

[Nix-dev] nixops virtualbox disk size
I'm trying to use nixops to deploy a service to VirtualBox (and eventually ec2). This service requires a very large /nix/store - it depends on a very large number of Haskell packages. During the deploy, I eventually see hiplambda exporting path ‘/nix/store/5a1flswypn2dsgdb4kcjv5f64811yshz-gnutls-3.3.15’ hiplambda exporting path ‘/nix/store/qa0sig9jnf0hp3n79z0n41xq6jdliszy-haskell-wl-pprint-extras-3.5.0.5’ hiplambda exporting path ‘/nix/store/5gpy13mqaqwfm13fbrbp1g6i52hhwidv-haskell-HaTeX-3.16.1.1’ hiplambda exporting path ‘/nix/store/cl2hziivsfs4sikbgigi29wzf1b4ydjb-haskell-hmatrix-0.16.1.5’ hiplambda error: preallocating file of 143861 bytes: No space left on device hiplambda exporting path ‘/nix/store/68j53bfhqja7pbwmxwjrl85244i3lsn3-haskell-hmatrix-repa-0.1.2.1’ hiplambda copying 120 missing paths (756.15 MiB) to ‘root@192.168.56.102 ’... hiplambda writing to file: Broken pipe at /nix/store/xf667rba4zrg3iwfl7hn8caf2kjjwn4a-nix-1.9pre4153_b64988b/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.20.2/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Nix/CopyClosure.pm line 44. error: command ‘['nix-copy-closure', '--to', 'root@192.168.56.102', u'/nix/store/l3khfds5fdmflfrxbk65np5qdy3q0xsd-nixos-15.06pre-git']’ failed on machine ‘hiplambda’ (exit code 32) Sure enough, the root partition is filled up $ nixops ssh hiplambda -d hiplambda connecting to 192.168.56.102...

I'm assuming that the 10GB size is from the NixOS vdi. I can use the deployment.virtualbox.disks to create another disk, but I don't see a way to use that for /nix/store. Am I going to have to resort to doing it manually after the initial creation fails?
