My Guix installation(s) are keep failing, because people keep giving me free USB drivers that are faulty.
Proposing to add some method to verify that the USB drive is sane in the manual for the installation to avoid weird, confusing and infuriating errors.

I honestly think this is outside the scope of the Guix reference
manual. There is a wide range of storage devices out there, and
checking for their health is not trivial, especially for SMART-less
devices like flash thumb drives.
Closing.
Thanks,
Maxim
