Independent on the method of creation (declarative, imperative, nixops) their root under `/var/lib/containers` will contain nothing except `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`.\r\n\r\nHere is an example:\r\n\r\n1. `nixos-container create test`\r\n2. `/var/lib/containers/test` does not contain a full filesystem hierarchy and does only consist of `/etc/nixos/configuration.nix`\r\n3. `nixos-container start test` # will fail because of 2.\r\n\r\nI can reproduce this behavior on three different machines running on current to up to 4 days old `master`. Due the massive amount of resulting recompilation I wasn't able to bisect the intriguing commit yet. Further I have just started using containers therefore my understanding of their internals isn't good enough to fastly find the bug. Maybe someone can lead me in the right direction or is able to reproduce this error."}}
