Isn't it just "move /nix out of the way, bind mount a new one from a larger drive, use rsync to move the data"? On Mon, Mar 20, 2023 at 9:25 AM Ben Gamari wrote:

The root partition was close to running out of disk space yesterday. The problem appears to be that /nix is located on the small system drive. We should really address this although moving /nix is sadly not easy and will certainly require downtime.

Cheers,

In the meantime, I have significantly reduced the number of snapshots retained in the root dataset. This brought disk usage down from 70% to 12%, which should keep us afloat for a long while. Cheers, - Ben
