**Checked before every start.** nixpkgs' start script runs as host root on
the root template, and its `mkdir -p`, `chmod`, `touch` and
`cp --remove-destination` follow a link the container planted at the paths
they touch. The container's limits drop-in
(`container@h-<name>.service.d/hyperhive-limits.conf`) therefore carries an
`ExecStartPre=` that runs `hive-priv check-rootfs h-<name>` ahead of that
script, on systemd's own restarts too. It looks at each path with `lstat`,
never following a link, and fails the start with one line on stderr naming the
path and its type when:
they touch. The host's nix config therefore adds a drop-in to the `container@`
template (`container@.service.d/`, from
`nix/host-modules/container-rootfs-check.nix`) with an `ExecStartPre=` that
runs `hive-priv check-rootfs %i`. It applies to every container instance, the
agents and the swarm's service containers alike, and runs on systemd's own
restarts too. systemd reads a drop-in after the unit file and runs the
`ExecStartPre=` lines in that order, all of them before `ExecStart=`, so the
check runs before the start script touches the root. The unit file names the
`hive-priv` store path, so the system closure keeps that build alive.
The check looks at each path with `lstat`, never following a link, and fails
the start with one line on stderr naming the path and its type when:
- `usr`, `usr/bin`, `etc`, `var`, `var/lib`, `var/lib/private` or `root`
exists and isn't a real directory;
- `etc/machine-id` or `etc/resolv.conf` exists and isn't a regular file
(`etc/os-release` may also be a link, which the script skips and a booted
NixOS guest creates);
- the profile's `system` (`/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-container/h-<name>/system`)
- the profile's `system` (`/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-container/<name>/system`)
exists and isn't a link that resolves into `/nix/store`, or the `system`
file inside the resolved directory isn't a regular file.
Absent paths pass, so a first start works. The check neither deletes nor
repairs: the operator removes the offending entry, and the next start goes
through.
The drop-in names the `hive-priv` binary that wrote it, so a drop-in never
points at a build without the sub-command. A drop-in written by an older
points at a build without the sub-command. That build's store path has a GC
root, `/nix/var/nix/gcroots/hyperhive-check-rootfs/h-<name>`, written before the
drop-in and replaced on each write, so a garbage collection can't remove the
binary a restart would run. The directory sits beside `gcroots/per-container`,
which is the only gcroots path bound into a container, so only root writes it.
Destroying the container removes the drop-in and then its root; the build stays
until the next collection. A drop-in written by an older hive-priv has no
`ExecStartPre=` and no root, and the container starts as before.
The name `%i` selects both paths, so the check refuses a name that isn't
lowercase ascii, digits and hyphens. Absent paths pass, so a first start works.
The check neither deletes nor repairs: the operator removes the offending
entry, and the next start goes through.
**Disk use.** The copy shares blocks with the old root where it can: hive-priv
clones each file (`FICLONE`), which on btrfs or xfs allocates metadata only, and

# The pre-start check of a container's root, for every `container@` instance.
#
# nixpkgs' start script runs as host root against the container's own root,
# which is persistent and writable by the container, and its `mkdir`, `chmod`,
# `touch` and `cp` follow links the container planted there. A drop-in on the
# `container@` template runs `hive-priv check-rootfs %i` as an `ExecStartPre=`
# before the script (`hive-priv/src/prestart.rs` has the rules). It covers the
# agents' imperative instances and the declarative ones (hive-forge,
# hive-matrix, the swarm services), each of which has a unit file of its own:
# systemd reads the template's drop-in directory for every instance.
#
# Order: systemd parses a drop-in after the unit file, so this line follows the
# unit file's own `ExecStartPre=` (nixpkgs' `preStart`, which touches no path
# under the root), and `ExecStart=` runs only after every `ExecStartPre=`
# succeeded.
#
# The drop-in is a unit-file package rather than `systemd.services."container@"`
# because that attribute renders the template's own unit file, which a
# declarative instance's unit file replaces.
