# Note: This is a private API, internal to NixOS. Its interface is subject
# to change without notice.
#
# The result of this builder is two disk images:
#
#  * `boot` - a small disk formatted with FAT to be used for /boot. FAT is
#    chosen to support EFI.
#  * `root` - a larger disk with a zpool taking the entire disk.
#
# This two-disk approach is taken to satisfy ZFS's requirements for
# autoexpand.
#
# # Why doesn't autoexpand work with ZFS in a partition?
#
# When ZFS owns the whole disk doesn’t really use a partition: it has
# a marker partition at the start and a marker partition at the end of
# the disk.
#
# If ZFS is constrained to a partition, ZFS leaves expanding the partition
# up to the user. Obviously, the user may not choose to do so.
#
# Once the user expands the partition, calling zpool online -e expands the
# vdev to use the whole partition. It doesn’t happen automatically
# presumably because zed doesn’t get an event saying it’s partition grew,
# whereas it can and does get an event saying the whole disk it is on is
# now larger.
