Subject: squashfs -> ext4, which makes images ~5x larger.  :(
X-Git-Url: http://git.scottworley.com/nixos-qemu-vm-isolation/commitdiff_plain/68bdafb07183ce95311038842731769028f55712?ds=sidebyside;hp=68bdafb07183ce95311038842731769028f55712

squashfs -> ext4, which makes images ~5x larger.  :(

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/236656 changed NixOS's qemu-vm
disk-finding mechanism to use filesystem labels.

squashfs doesn't support filesystem labels (see
https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/issues/59 ).

So we can't use squashfs anymore.  :(

The simple test's nix store image is 240M as squashfs and 1.3G as ext4.
