From dbe4c043d75f90f30932d326d2c80fd030b1f06d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Bj=C3=B8rn=20Forsman?= Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:18:53 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] install-multi-user: reduce max-jobs from 32 to 1 Having max-jobs = 32 ($NIX_USER_COUNT is hardcoded to that value) may severely overload the machine. The nix.conf(5) manual page says max-jobs defaults to 1, so let's use that value. NOTE: Both max-jobs and cores are now being set to their default value, so they can be removed alltogether. --- scripts/install-multi-user.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/install-multi-user.sh b/scripts/install-multi-user.sh index 4b65783a2..6a76761cc 100644 --- a/scripts/install-multi-user.sh +++ b/scripts/install-multi-user.sh @@ -742,7 +742,7 @@ place_nix_configuration() { cat < "$SCRATCH/nix.conf" build-users-group = $NIX_BUILD_GROUP_NAME -max-jobs = $NIX_USER_COUNT +max-jobs = 1 cores = 1 EOF _sudo "to place the default nix daemon configuration (part 2)" \
