[Nix-dev] USB disks with LVM on boot
Hey, I'm trying to setup a three disk software RAID1 with LVM on USB drives. I get everything working great and add the filesystems to my nix configuration. Upon reboot I get the following: Dec 29 02:35:18 mycroft.alunduil.com systemd[1]: Job dev-disk- by\x2duuid-8db66416\x2d4a8a\x2d4f89\x2db828\x2d55cb2b2ded50.device/start timed out.

Dec 29 02:35:18 mycroft.alunduil.com systemd[1]: Starting Create Volatile Files and Directories... Which simply triggers a shutdown of systemd. I'm guessing that it's either LVM not activating the volume group or that the disks don't come up when they need to. Is there anyway to resolve these issues by upping a timeout or forcing LVM to enable the volumes? If not my only strategy will be to go with physical partitions (not a big deal but am very curiuos about this use).

So there is no way to do it without rolling my own livecd like I asked about?

Thanks for the information, I'll look into making a custom ISO and see how that goes.

[Nix-dev] Remote Installation
Hey, I know this isn't something that one normally does but how can I ensure that SSH is enabled and accessible from a live environment to perform a remote installation without rolling my own livecd? Are these instructions published anywhere and I simply couldn't google well enough?
