|

* ZFS Support
|
||
Enabling ZFS is quite straightforward on my machines. In my module
|
||
=nixos.zfs=, I expose two options: which ZFS pools to import, and
|
||
whether to force-import the root pool. But first, here’s the skeleton
|
||
of my module.
|
||
|
||
#+begin_src nix :tangle yes
|
||
{
|
||
flake.modules.nixos.zfs = {
|
||
lib,
|
||
config,
|
||
...
|
||
}:
|
||
with lib; let
|
||
cfg = config.mySystem.boot;
|
||
in {
|
||
<<options>>
|
||
<<enable>>
|
||
<<pools>>
|
||
<<force-import-root>>
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
The main option is the list of pools, which I pass directly to the
|
||
standard NixOS configuration.
|
||
#+name: options
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
options.mySystem.boot.zfs = {
|
||
pools = mkOption {
|
||
type = types.listOf types.str;
|
||
default = [];
|
||
};
|
||
forceImportRoot = mkEnableOption "Force-import the ZFS root pool at boot, even if it looks already imported elsewhere";
|
||
};
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
Now, I can enable ZFS on the system importing the current module.
|
||
#+name: enable
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
config.boot.supportedFilesystems = ["zfs"];
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
And lastly, passing the list of pools to the standard NixOS option is
|
||
quite simple.
|
||
#+name: pools
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
config.boot.zfs.extraPools = cfg.zfs.pools;
|
||
#+end_src
|
||
|
||
Force-importing the root pool can paper over a stale or mismatched
|
||
host ID, but it also risks mounting a pool that’s already imported
|
||
elsewhere and corrupting it, so NixOS is moving to disable it by
|
||
default. I’d rather keep that safety and only turn it back on for the
|
||
rare host (or the rare boot) that actually needs it.
|
||
#+name: force-import-root
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
config.boot.zfs.forceImportRoot = cfg.zfs.forceImportRoot;
|
||
#+end_src
|
