This option was removed because allowing (multiple) regular users to override host entries affecting the whole system opens up a huge attack vector. There seem to be very rare cases where this might be useful. Consider setting system-wide host entries using networking.hosts, provide them via the DNS server in your network, or use networking.networkmanager.appendNameservers to point your system to another (local) nameserver to set those entries.

By default zfs pools will now be trimmed on a weekly basis.
|
|
Trimming is only done on supported devices (i.e. NVME or SSDs)
|
|
and should improve throughput and lifetime of these devices.
|
|
It is controlled by the <varname>services.zfs.trim.enable</varname> varname.
|
|
The zfs scrub service (<varname>services.zfs.autoScrub.enable</varname>)
|
|
and the zfs autosnapshot service (<varname>services.zfs.autoSnapshot.enable</varname>)
|
|
are now only enabled if zfs is set in <varname>config.boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems</varname> or
|
|
<varname>config.boot.supportedFilesystems</varname>. These lists will automatically contain
|
|
zfs as soon as any zfs mountpoint is configured in <varname>fileSystems</varname>.
