14:38 <gchristensen> "Yep, check out synthetic.conf(5). You can make a virtual symlink at / that points to a location you control. Or you can make a virtual empty directory that you can mount a volume dedicated to Nix at."

14:47 <LnL> what's that?

14:48 <gchristensen> I asked that EBADTWEET person about Nix getting an exemption on Catalina https://twitter.com/EBADTWEET/status/1159283989355495424

14:49 <LnL> oh! was wondering if that's what it was about

15:04 <LnL> this sounds like good news, was starting getting a little anxious about it

15:04 <gchristensen> yeah :)

15:05 <LnL> I should probably try to make some time for it and try out the latest beta

19:56 <LnL> hmm, this thing is a bit weird

19:56 <gchristensen> catalina?

19:58 <LnL> ls //nix: No such file or directory

19:58 <LnL> lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Aug 8 21:54 nix

20:00 <LnL> either I did something wrong or we won't be able to make the synthetic link functional without rebooting :/

20:00 <gchristensen> ouch

20:00 <LnL> or maybe the order is important?

20:07 <LnL> the data migration was seamless, except for the usual /etc/bashrc stuff that gets overridden

20:11 <LnL> yeah, symlink only works after a reboot

20:18 <LnL> on my last machine I created a separate apfs volume for the nix store and have that mounted to /nix

20:22 <LnL> but oddly enough, unlike the non functional symlink, apfs.util doesn't seem to create that when triggered manually

20:22 <LnL> and somehow some nix services started, even tho /nix is supposed to be an empty directory now

20:26 <LnL> FYI for reference, I couldn't find it online anywhere yet
