I'd like to know too, want to try it and report back?

Hmmm is this the default `linux` planner? I don't understand how it would get here without creating the `/nix` folder first.

Seems there may have been an undetected problem in the APFS volume creation, darn. Did it create a `/nix`? Can you see a Nix store in your Disk Utility list?

Do you see a volume named `Nix Store` in `diskutil apfs list`?

Does the upstream install work for you maybe? https://nixos.org/download

I definitely agree with you that APFS is a complicated beast.

If you're installing Nix manually (without this installer), you'd need to create both the `synthetic.conf` and `fstab`.

We've seen other reports of issues with nsncd as well, I think we need to do some work to add support.

I installed the latest `nsncd` package on an Ubuntu VM and was able to use `nix-installer` without any special configuration: ``` ana@ephemeral-ubuntu:~/Downloads$ curl -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install...

The process is failing on https://docs.rs/nix/latest/nix/unistd/struct.Group.html#method.from_name, which calls https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getpwuid_r.html. By the looks of it nsncd may intercept that call, I wonder if there is some incompatibility...
