Corbet Nix project

nixshare

Shares that name a peer, not an address that can die.

Declarative NFS and CIFS shares addressed through peer names with a watchdog that unsticks failed automounts.

The problem

Automounts hardcoded to one overlay address hang the whole session when that address stops responding.

NixOS laptop and workstation operators mounting NFS or CIFS shares that must survive overlay outages.

Why it matters

A focused part of the Corbet Nix suite

Client and server

Consuming shares and exporting them are independent module sets; either side works alone.

Provider split

Core schema and watchdog stay protocol-agnostic while NFS, CIFS, and cache providers plug in.

Cluster rendering

A cluster module renders through a real app grammar and consumer factory with declared checks.

Evidence and limits

Inspect the claim, then the mechanism.

Bound to a revision-addressed public source; checks are declared in-tree and CNIX has not reproduced their results.
