The kernel default for `link_power_management_policy` is `"max_performance"`. This commit: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/commit/f169f60575bec7c61626af180cae364d321b4bec set the NixOS default to `"min_performance"`. This issue (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/11276) details my long journey to discover this after several file system failures incorrectly attributed to `TRIM` and `NCQ` settings. I think we should use the kernel default of `"max_performance"` to assure the best experience for new users with SSDs and to conform to the defaults of the kernel and other distros.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-15.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
