|
|||
- update `/etc/synthetic.conf` to direct macOS to create a "synthetic"
|
||||
empty root directory to mount your volume
|
||||
- specify mount options for the volume in `/etc/fstab`
|
||||
- `rw`: read-write
|
||||
- `noauto`: prevent the system from auto-mounting the volume (so the
|
||||
LaunchDaemon mentioned below can control mounting it, and to avoid
|
||||
masking problems with that mounting service).
|
||||
- `nobrowse`: prevent the Nix Store volume from showing up on your
|
||||
desktop; also keeps Spotlight from spending resources to index
|
||||
this volume
|
||||
<!-- TODO:
|
||||
- `suid`: honor setuid? surely not? ...
|
||||
- `owners`: honor file ownership on the volume
|
||||
|
||||
For now I'll avoid pretending to understand suid/owners more
|
||||
than I do. There've been some vague reports of file-ownership
|
||||
and permission issues, particularly in cloud/VM/headless setups.
|
||||
My pet theory is that this has something to do with these setups
|
||||
not having a token that gets delegated to initial/admin accounts
|
||||
on macOS. See scripts/create-darwin-volume.sh for a little more.
|
||||
|
||||
In any case, by Dec 4 2021, it _seems_ like some combination of
|
||||
suid, owners, and calling diskutil enableOwnership have stopped
|
||||
new reports from coming in. But I hesitate to celebrate because we
|
||||
haven't really named and catalogued the behavior, understood what
|
||||
we're fixing, and validated that all 3 components are essential.

- generate an encryption password

- put it in your system Keychain
