Hi,
Not sure this qualifies as a bug, sending per request.
As a preparation to move from Debian to GuixSD, I have been dual
booting between Debian and GuixSD.
Using Debian as my main system with this layout
/dev/sda3 "debian" /
/dev/sda1 /guix
/dev/sda4 /home
I did
guix system init drakenvlieg.scm /guix
see attached, and then booted into GuixSD. GuixSD still using its own
/home on its sda1 root.
On GuixSD, I ran Gnome and mounted the home I had been using with Debian
/dev/sda1 "guix" /
/dev/sda3 "debian" /debian
/dev/sda4 /hoom <--manual mount
I set $HOME /to /hoom/janneke and checked that some things like wifi,
fonts, ssh, gnus, openvpn, touchpad etc. worked good enough to switch
over.
Then, I uncommented the /home section in drakenvlieg.scm, like so
;; Switch to GuixSD
(file-system (device "home")
(title 'label)
(mount-point "/home")
(type "ext4"))
(file-system (device (label "Debian")) (title 'label) (mount-point "/debian") (type "ext4") (flags '(read-only)))
and (without considering I had mounted /hoom and set $HOME there) ran
guix system reconfigure drakenvlieg.scm
which eventually printed
...
guix system: loading new services: file-system-/home urandom-seed ntpd avahi-daemon ssh-daemon...
shepherd: Evaluating user expression (register-services (primitive-load "/gn...") ...).
In /var/log/messages I found some clue as to why this did not return

PS: I booted into Debian, did a new system init into /guix and am
running GuixSD now.
