impermanence doesn't work with `qemu-vm.nix built systems. #50

Closed tomprince closed 2 years ago

I'm using nixos testing machinery to setup several nixos VMs for ad-hoc testing of a distributed service. I want to persist some state between run (in particular ssh host keys and tailscale configuration). I tried using impermanence, but it looks like it doesn't work, since qemu-vm.nix overrides config.fileSystems set by impermanence.

Yeah, that's correct. I don't think there's much we can do about it here, though. It sounds like an issue to raise in nixpkgs.
