Subject: bug#21209: /gnu/store should be able to be a symlink, but it can't
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 16:03:08 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150807160308.GA13042@adjuvant> (raw)
Apparently I can’t make /gnu/store a symlink:
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; time /usr/local/bin/guix pull
guix pull: error: build failed: `/gnu/store' is not a directory
real 0m0.431s
user 0m0.104s
sys 0m0.036s
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; ls -l /gnu/store
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 7 12:56 /gnu/store -> /gnustore
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; ls -Ldl /gnu/store
drwxrwxr-t 40 root guix-builder 49152 Aug 7 12:56 /gnu/store
Is there a reason for this? It’s inconvenient. (My root SSD only has
a couple gigs left.)
I’m working around that by directly mounting the /gnustore partition
under /gnu/store now.
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; sudo vi /etc/fstab
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; grep store /etc/fstab
/tb/gnustore.ext4 /gnu/store ext4 loop 2 3
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; sudo umount /gnustore
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; sudo rm /gnu/store
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; sudo mkdir /gnu/store
: user@debian:~/pkgs/guix-0.8.1; sudo mount -a
