Hey,
I just installed NixOS for the first time. My goal is just to look around, start configuring things and give NixOS a try. Therefore I went for the Gnome live ISO, clicked through the installer, chose the “no desktop environment” option, let it wipe my whole SSD and create partitions to its liking.
After the installation finished I booted into the system and I noticed something strange. The main partition (/dev/sda2
in my case) is mounted twice. The mount
command has this output:
/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda2 on /nix/store type ext4 (ro,relatime)
Now my questions: Is this the expected behavior? Why is /dev/sda2
mounted twice?
Thanks in advance
