This reduces memory consumption of nix-instantiate \ -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; runCommand "foo" { src = ./blender; } "echo foo"' \ --option nar-buffer-size 10000 (where ./blender is a 1.1 GiB tree) from 1716 to 36 MiB, while still ensuring that we don't do any write I/O for small source paths (up to 'nar-buffer-size' bytes). The downside is that large paths are now always written to a temporary location in the store, even if they produce an already valid store path. Thus, adding large paths might be slower and run out of disk space. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Of course, you can always restore the old behaviour by setting 'nar-buffer-size' to a very high value. |
