+qemu-aarch64 hangs on cptofs during a build of NixOS SD card image
+
+First, thank you for this incredible project.
+
+While following this guide to build my own image of NixOS: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM#Compiling_through_QEMU on ARM Aarch64.
+
+I encountered a very strange behavior, qemu is correctly used and build most of the binaries until it executes this exact line over qemu: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/make-ext4-fs.nix#L55
+
+At this step, the qemu process goes to 100 % of CPU, hangs in a certain syscall I don't know which one (according to strace & gdb which has no symbols so breaking and looking the backtrace was useless).
+
+According to iotop, no I/O was done.
+
+And it spent all its time in this syscall during more than 10 hours, which looks anomalous to me.
+
+I attach some of my CPU info:
+
+model		: 142
+model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
+stepping	: 10
+microcode	: 0x96
+cpu MHz		: 3107.071
+cache size	: 8192 KB
+
+I'm using a ThinkPad T480 to perform those builds, I'm uncertain of how to debug further this issue, I discussed this with some people over #nixos-aarch64 and they told me they didn't know how to debug it further too.
+
+I tried all with this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qemu-arm-static/ — I'm currently compiling qemu-git to see if it happens on upstream too. Will comment when it's done.
+
+Thank you in advance!
