Well it's critical if "mount -a" is going to work, and thus if NFS filesyst= ems (such as /home in many networks) can be automatically mounted at boot time. =20 I would say that dynamic composition (???mount??? looking up ???mount.= nfs??? & co. in $PATH) is OK in this case. The NFS service in GuixSD could extend ???profile-service-type??? such that ???nfs-utils??? is indeed = in the system profile. =20 Ok If you think it's acceptable I'll push a change with just the "--enable-fs-paths-default=3D/run/current-system/profile/sbin" option for n= ow. If it turns out not to be good enough then we can rethink it later. J' --=20 Avoid eavesdropping. Send strong encrypted email.
