unable to create CT

[bryce-hoehn]

Another weird path error I encountered. Trying to make a new CT using the NixOS LXC image gave the following error:

Formatting '/var/lib/vz/images/106/vm-106-disk-0.raw', fmt=raw size=8589934592 preallocation=off
TASK ERROR: unable to create CT 106 - command 'mkfs.ext4 -O mmp -E 'root_owner=100000:100000' /var/lib/vz/images/106/vm-106-disk-0.raw' failed: open3: exec of mkfs.ext4 -O mmp -E root_owner=100000:100000 /var/lib/vz/images/106/vm-106-disk-0.raw failed: No such file or directory at /nix/store/z9n8janax3c423gfch25r30823cr2sfg-perl-5.40.0-env/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.40.0/PVE/Tools.pm line 434

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that the host is running btrfs but the container is trying to use ext4. I didn't see any option to make the CT use btrfs though.

Got a little further after adding:

  systemd.services.pvedaemon.path = [ pkgs.e2fsprogs ];
  systemd.services.pvestatd.path = [ pkgs.e2fsprogs ];

New error:

This seems to fix the tar issue: eef608a

I'll clean up my repo and submit a PR soon

I am still running into this error though: #192
