Fuse is stil enabled by default so the default behaviour of NixOS
doesn't change. However, now it's possible to actively exclude fuse when
you don't need it.
Ever since fb49d81b25 we set
CONFIG_PSTORE=y in the config because we set CONIFG_ACPI_APEI=y in the
kernel. This means we always have pstore built right into the kernel.
systemd thus always mounts `/sys/fs/pstore` which makes our custom unit
superfluous and redudant.

doesn't change. However, now it's possible to actively exclude fuse when

Thank you for making this change.
Unfortunately, and I take blame for this, this change to the module
system was not reviewed and approved by the module system maintainers.
I'm supportive of this change, but extending it on the staging-next
branch is not the right place.
This commit is also here to make sure that we don't run into conflicts
or other git trouble with the staging workflow.
Review:
It looks alright, but it didn't have tests yet, and it should be
considered in a broader context where the existence of this type
creates an incentive to be used in cases where the `<attr> = false;`
case is undesirable. I'd like to complement this with an type that
has `<attr> = {};` only.
My apologies for the lack of a timely and clear review. Often we
recommend to define the type outside the module system until
approved. This commit puts us back in that state.

This commit will lead to merge conflicts for a number of PRs,
up to an estimated ~1100 (~33%) among the PRs with activity in the past 2
months, but that should be lower than what it would be without the previous
[partial treewide format](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322537).

Before this change, when both device and label were set, the label would
be silently ignored. This is especially problematic when the device is
set in another module, and it's not immediately obvious why the label is
not having any effect.
Additionally, some other modules use the device option to get the device
of a filesystem, but this option is not populated when only the label is
set, causing those modules to conclude that the filesystem does not have
a backing device.
With this change, we populate the device option using the label when the
label is set. This means that we get a clear error message when both the
device and label are set, and that the device is properly populated
whenever the label is used to specify the backing device.
Add the ability to disable filesystems set in a nixos config (enabled by
default). This makes the submodules under `fileSystems` behave more like
submodules in other nixos modules.
these changes were generated with nixq 0.0.2, by running
nixq ">> lib.mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> mdDoc[remove] Argument[keep]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
nixq ">> Inherit >> mdDoc[remove]" --batchmode nixos/**.nix
two mentions of the mdDoc function remain in nixos/, both of which
are inside of comments.
Since lib.mdDoc is already defined as just id, this commit is a no-op as
far as Nix (and the built manual) is concerned.
this lets us *dis*able filesystem explicitly, as is required by e.g. the
zfs-less installer images. currently that specifically is only easily
possible by adding an overlay that stubs out `zfs`, with the obvious
side-effect of also removing tooling that could run without the kernel
module loaded.
it is now possible to supply a stratis pool uuid
for every filesystem, and if that filesystem
is required for boot, the relevant pool will be
started in the initramfs.
When the option list is empty, the fstab generator does not
automatically add "defaults" and generates a non-working fstab (since it
just emits two spaces around where the options would have been which is
only technically one fstab separator).
Version 251.6 of systemd introduced a small change[1] that now checks
whether the fsck command is available in *addition* to the filesystem
specific fsck.$fsname executable.
When bumping systemd to version 251.7 on our side[2], we introduced that
change. This subsequently caused our "fsck" test to fail and it looks
like this was an oversight during the pull request[3] introducing the
bump.
Since the fsck wrapper binary is in util-linux, I decided to address
this by adding util-linux to fsPackages because util-linux is already
part of the closure of any NixOS system so the impact should be pretty
low.

This change fixes this system journal warning for
`fileSystems.<name>.fsType = "nfs4"` configurations:
systemd-fstab-generator[714]: Checking was requested for "192.168.0.6:/data", but it is not a device.
Some mount options might include path names and those often contain spaces and
therefore must be escaped. An example which prompted me to make this change is
the path of a btrfs subvolume.
This commit prevents warning messages like
```
systemd-fstab-generator: Checking was requested for "/path/to/device", but it is not a device.
```
in `dmesg` when one of the filesystems 9p, cifs, prl_fs or vmhgfs is added to the list of `fileSystems`.
This happens because the generated /etc/fstab entry contains a non-zero fsck pass number, which doesn't make sense for these filesystems.
the conversion procedure is simple:
- find all things that look like options, ie calls to either `mkOption`
or `lib.mkOption` that take an attrset. remember the attrset as the
option
- for all options, find a `description` attribute who's value is not a
call to `mdDoc` or `lib.mdDoc`
- textually convert the entire value of the attribute to MD with a few
simple regexes (the set from mdize-module.sh)
- if the change produced a change in the manual output, discard
- if the change kept the manual unchanged, add some text to the
description to make sure we've actually found an option. if the
manual changes this time, keep the converted description
this procedure converts 80% of nixos options to markdown. around 2000
options remain to be inspected, but most of those fail the "does not
change the manual output check": currently the MD conversion process
does not faithfully convert docbook tags like <code> and <package>, so
any option using such tags will not be converted at all.
Without this change, configurations like
```nix
fileSystems."/path/to/bindMountedDirectory" = {
device = "/path/to/originalDirectory";
options = [ "bind" ];
};
```
will lead to a warning message in `dmesg`:
```
systemd-fstab-generator: Checking was requested for "/path/to/originalDirectory", but it is not a device.
```
This happens because the generated /etc/fstab entry contains a non-zero fsck pass number, which doesn't make sense for a bind mount.
