during boot. Mountall ensures that these are done in the right
order. It's informed by udev about devices becoming available. It
emits some Upstart events upon reaching certain states, in
particular ‘local-filesystems’ after all local filesystems have been
mounted successfully, ‘remote-filesystems’ after all network
filesystems have been mounted, and ‘filesystem’ (sic) when all
filesystems have been mounted.
Currently, if a filesystem fails to mount or doesn't exist, then the
mingettys won't start and the boot will appear to hang. This is
because mountall doesn't emit an event for failing filesystems and
waits indefinitely for the filesystems to become available.

machine can now declare an option `virtualisation.vlans' that causes
it to have network interfaces connected to each listed virtual
network. For instance,
virtualisation.vlans = [ 1 2 ];
causes the machine to have two interfaces (in addition to eth0, used
by the test driver to control the machine): eth1 connected to
network 1 with IP address 192.168.1.<i>, and eth2 connected to
network 2 with address 192.168.2.<i> (where <i> is the index of the
machine in the `nodes' attribute set). On the other hand,
virtualisation.vlans = [ 2 ];
causes the machine to only have an eth1 connected to network 2 with
address 192.168.2.<i>. So each virtual network <n> is assigned the
IP range 192.168.<n>.0/24.
Each virtual network is implemented using a separate multicast
address on the host, so guests really cannot talk to networks to
which they are not connected.
* Added a simple NAT test to demonstrate this.
* Added an option `virtualisation.qemu.options' to specify QEMU
command-line options. Used to factor out some commonality between
the test driver script and the interactive test script.

By default, they take the usual value of "50% of physical RAM".
As /dev/shm can be filled by anyone, and tmpfs does not trigger the OOM killer (and
can hang the machine due to a lack of RAM), I need to configure that down
in order to avoid crashes.
There is still left the /var/run/nscd tmpfs filesystem, also created with 50%
of the RAM, but at least not writeable by anyone. We could find a reasonable
low value for that, or allow configuration.

We could not start on 'filesystems', because filesystems is written as an upstart task.
Additionally, as upstart calls the postfix start/stop script and it does not act as a
daemon, we write it as a preStart/postStop job. Then we don't have monitoring or respawn,
but at least upstart does not get confused on its state.

The file contents were taken as a file path. This resulted in a system with a totally broken /etc:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 51 22 feb 21:45 bashrc -> /nix/store/gh71a6w50cxrl4124kxfn24yi0b7aaka-useradd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 44 22 feb 21:45 nix.conf -> 192.168.1.4(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 58 22 feb 21:45 inputrc -> /nix/store/1czhdj7q74dc556frqrh51jyshfsxhl3-bashrc-user.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 51 22 feb 21:45 nsswitch.conf -> /nix/store/qsgsli992hd1g8245d8am9izn9xmw90x-inputrc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root nixbld 20 22 feb 21:45 exports -> /home/sheevaplugroot
Notice that the inputrc has strange contents. In my case, that disabled me to type 's' or 'i' (at least) in any new interactive shell.
If you notice, the 'exports' symlink should point to a store file, which contents had to look like:
/home/sheevaplugroot 192.168.1.4(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
This patch achieves this later behaviour rather than the former.

- It doesn't support filenames with spaces.
- It inserts a space after the filename when tab-completing in an
"svn" command.
- Many people find it annoying that tab-completion on commands like
"tar" only matches filenames with the "right" extension.
- Lluís reported bash apparently crashing on some tab completions.
We should probably make this optional, and maybe use a subset of the
bash_completion file in the bash distribution that works.

What I want with this derivation is to allow the sheevaplug nixos to
build a tarball with all the needed files to boot. Then, this can be
unpacked into an SD card, or into a NFS/TFTP server, and then the
user can boot the system with help of the uboot console.
By now, I have only tried to build the tarball in a PC, in order
to develop the nix expressions quicker.
There is nothing written specialy for the Sheevaplug in all this,
by now.

For automated tests, this is bad, because is makes the VM appear to

QEMU to report the problem to the VM. As a side effect QEMU exits
very elegantly:

Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)
