Prior to this change a service failure would occur when this tmpfiles
service did not finish fast enough and receive a SIGTERM from systemd.
Additionally, `initrd-nixos-activation` is already ordered with
`After=initrd-switch-root.target`.
By default, systemd-repart refuses to act on empty disk devices, i.e.
those without any existing partition table for safety reasons.
This behaviour can be customized via the `--empty` flag, which we now
expose via the module system. This makes to partition empty disks
on first boot.
These daemons should not be stopped, as they're foundational to a
proper functioning of the system. When switching configurations, they
only need a restart instead of that stop/start cycle.
Helps the following situation:
- SSH in initrd is enabled
- NixOS is waiting for a password to be typed at the console (or
provided via cryptsetup-askpass)
- The user logs in via SSH, but instead of running cryptsetup-askpass,
they run "cryptsetup open" directly (because they don't know that
they need to use NixOS's cryptsetup-askpass script, or because they
want to use a non-trivial unlocking method that is not natively
supported by this module)
Currently, in the above situation, NixOS will keep waiting for a
password to be entered even though the device is already unlocked. If
a password is entered, it will print a confusing "already exists"
error and keep asking for the same password.
We can improve on this by simply checking if the device is already
unlocked in our read loop. In this case, we don't need to do anything
other than return from the function and continue booting.
Removing the splash param only causes plymouth to display console
output by default; it still runs. Systemd stage 1 respects this flag
due to unit conditions preventing plymouth from even running. So this
brings parity to scripted stage 1.
This makes it so that the getty units are only included if
`config.console.enable` is set to `true`. Previously, they would be
included, but disabled in that case, which is unnecessary.
After final improvements to the official formatter implementation,
this commit now performs the first treewide reformat of Nix files using it.
This is part of the implementation of RFC 166.
Only "inactive" files are reformatted, meaning only files that
aren't being touched by any PR with activity in the past 2 months.
This is to avoid conflicts for PRs that might soon be merged.
Later we can do a full treewide reformat to get the rest,
which should not cause as many conflicts.
A CI check has already been running for some time to ensure that new and
already-formatted files are formatted, so the files being reformatted here
should also stay formatted.
